Observer
Name Stephen K
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Biggest and brightest I’ve seen. Looked bright blue like an electrical arc. Came from above my windshield facing N or Nw and traveled what seemed to be NW. lastest almost a two count. Seemed to have like a fuzzy exterior. I don’t know how else to describe it. But didn’t have any fragments and just went out in the sky.
