Observer
Name Philip M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks My first time reporting a sighting, I have been fortunate to see a few in my life. This sighting was not like the ones I’ve seen in the past it was a bright blue light that appeared like out of nowhere in the sky with a trail of smoke that followed. It disappeared behind a tree line that separates our neighborhood. Relatively closer than all of the ones I’ve seen in the past.
