Observer
Name Aman D
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was walking and suddenly saw something blue and bright out of the corner of my eye. It appeared to be a yellow ball with a blue tail and a bit of red behind the yellow. I may have heard a crackling sound but I’m not certain. It went from west to east and appeared low in the sky and then disappeared.
