| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Tonight I witnessed something I've never seen before. On September 17, 2013 at approximately 2310 I was sitting on my front porch. Out of nowhere I saw a bright blue ball with a VERY long lighter blue tail falling fast from the sky approximately 90° above the horizon to the east. I continued to watch it for approximately 10-15 seconds until it was no longer visible due to it going deep behind homes in front of me. Approximately 5 seconds later all the dogs in the neighborhood, due east of my home were barking vigorously for about 20 minutes. I never saw this object burn out nor did I hear any noise of it hitting the earth's ground afterward, but what an amazing an beautiful sight to see! |
