| Name | Estella H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was sitting in my back patio (facing North) having a cup of coffee when I saw the bright blue ball came across the horizon - it was low - I thought it was heading west, but realized that it was headed towards a Northerly west area. I once saw an electrical transformer short out and the color was bright sky blue w/white outline. This is exactly the color of the ball that I saw flying across the sky with a short stubby fat tail. I was in awe. |
