Reports Report 2765b (Event 2765-2021)

Observer
Name Brian H
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was indoors watching tv and the light out the north wall window to my right caught my eye. I turned to look and saw the orange and blue ball of light travel from east to west arcing slightly down. It passed out of view without changing brilliance size or color. I was impressed by the apparent size, worried it was an airplane not too far away that was on fire.
