| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The 'flames' were very separately marked (I counted 4) and orange/red near the ball, white at the tips. We've seen a variety of meteor streaks, but this ball was huge compared to those & without a streak behind it. Big Sur is near a military base - but there was no sound at all. It went behind nearby trees so we didn't see its destination. 11pm was the approximate time. |
