Basically it looked like about ta quarter size of a palm tree top & streaked 1-2 secs from there & downward & to the top of a Live Oak & it had the sparkle vanis To me I would say it was right there. It was so big & so fast. Surprised that it even caught my eye. I hope this helps to explain. the other part was a dictaion so hope that worked |
