| Remarks | Sitting outside with the dogs, Husband and I noticed our light pavement on our driveway was bright blue which made me look up to watch the object fly 2 more seconds and explode into pieces, then the sky went dark. No clouds in the sky. Moon was a bright half circle, but the blue object was brighter than the moon. |
