Observer
Name Michelle J
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Along with the meteor there were three silver orbs. I was at a football game and the announcer yelled "Did anyone else just see that!" And all you heard were yells of yes and mumbles of oh my God that was crazy! It looked as if it went into the tree line right behind the football stadium! Broad daylight, it was amazing!
