Reports Report 294bc (Event 294-2025)

Observer
Name Vicky D
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was driving after dark. I saw a glowing spherical object with a tail. It appeared to come from above the trees to my right, passed directly in front of the windshield, and continued descending over the field to my left. The orb was bright green with just a hint of orange around the edges. The tail was a paler green shading to white. If it were as close as it appeared, the glowing orb would have been about the size of a softball. I had to return my eyes to the road before it actually disappeared. I believe the time given is accurate within about 5 minutes.
