Reports Report 1337qg (Event 1337-2017)

Observer
Name Brittany J
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks The ball looked White with blue green tint to it. It had a round shield in front of it like it was hitting our atmosphere. The tail behind it was red orange and the shield in front was orangish too. I was sitting in the passenger side car when I saw so my information is as accurate as I could be.
