| Name | TRACY C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The moon just rose 2 fingers above horizon in the east. I was facing east. Over my head from the west heading east was the most beautiful pointy teardrop looking ball of blue and yellow, more blue color flying low like a crop duster plane then simply vanished!! It lasted maybe 3-5 seconds, no sound but we had music on!! So beautiful!! Never ever seen anything like it. I've been watching stars more then 50 years. Have always seen the white trails in far off skies. Nothing ever right over my head so brilliant and beautiful!! Then in silence it vanished!! AI says I saw a bolide. I'm in Indiana, Miami county. |
