Observer
Name Vanessa B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was traveling north by northeast on us route 9 around the whippoorwill campground- the ball i saw was not on fire per se but a giant whitish yellow ball. I literally thought it was the biggest shooting star i have ever seen in my life!! It was traveling north by northeast at a very fast speed. I did not hear noise bc my radio was on and i was on the phone screaming to my friend "holy shit! That was incredible!"
