Observer
Name Lee P
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was watching a movie. Lights were out in the room. Shutters were open. I saw the blue fireball travel from east to west. 1-2 seconds. Went outside no sounds. I have volunteered for USCG- aviation for many years. Only say this because I am familiar with aircraft; that was definitely not one.
