Observer
Name Sue J
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It was very bright through a tinted windshield with sunglasses on in the middle of a sunny Colorado day. Blue/white sparkling streak of light about 10-15 degrees long. Made me think of a welding flame or firecracker. Trajectory appeared to be due south. It disappeared before hitting the horizon or going behind trees or buildings.
