| Observer | |

| Name | Jim W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Minimal tail, if any. No sound. Just happened to look up from back yard in N.E. direction and caught sight of bright medium blue light falling from sky. At first thought someone doing fireworks, but no sound. I have seen shooting stars before, but the was definitely in the atmosphere. Estimate within 2,000 feet up? Maybe space debris? |
