Observer
Name Deborah B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I saw a very bright light then it looked like a big ball. I thought at first a plane but then thought it was moving way too fast. I was driving when I saw it and then it just vanished. It was in the sky on the Saw Mill rd facing apartments on the street where there is a factory called Belimo behind there. I was amazed. Wish I could find videos someone may have gotten.
