Reports Report 901ab (Event 901-2016)

Observer
Name Patty K
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks What I saw moved very quickly from right to left on an a downward arc, and I lost sight of it as it disappeared behind several tall trees in my neighbors yard. It was very bright white white but appeared to be surrounded by orange/red as it fell. I only saw it for a couple of seconds before it was blocked by trees. It seemed to be somewhat close since it was so bright, not a distant shooting star at all.
