Observer
Name Marcia Z
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I am not positive what I saw is a meteor. I was driving home at night and saw out of the corner of my eye a bright white spherical object with a blue tint to it. It was only about the height of two very tall trees and was propelling down quickly at an angle and then just disappeared before it hit the ground. It happened very quickly, about 5 seconds.
