| Name | Sue D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I’ve seen shooting stars, but this ball of light was very large and I was struck at the width of the trail and how the sides of the trail looked squared off and very wide for a good portion of the trail, then narrowed until it faded away behind the hilly horizon. Also it seemed very close because it was so large. To me it looked like it was angled to crash somewhere around Napa, California. |
