Reports Report 2341c (Event 2341-2015)

Observer
Name Melody C
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was looking out my front glass door and saw a brilliant bright blue light falling straight down from the sky, not sure how far away it was but it never dimmed and was glowing brightly all the way down and I only lost sight of it when it fell below my neighbors roof so I'm sure it hit the ground. My neighbors house is about 60 yards or so from mine and the meteorite was about the size of chic pea looking at it from my door.
