| Name | Kodie F |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was very close to the ground when we spotted it, it didn't seem very heavy, it landed close to us but we couldn't find it because it was dark and it looked like it landed in between houses. It was burning, then when it got to about 100 feet from the ground it went out. I have never seen anything fall from the sky like that. It was so bright blue. It seemed lighter than rock, but heavier than paper. it did not make a sound. We saw it out of the corner of our eyes first then by the time we turned to look it was a millisecond and then out! Please tell me what this could have been, I didn't even know there were showers and other sightings until i looked up what it could have been. Thank you for your time. |
