Remarks The ball of light had a train. I spied it as it showed up behind our large oak tree. It looked the same as it moved behind the trees in my neighbors back, side yard across the street. It appeared to be moving across and away from my position. It was the size of a nickel I think. I saw no change in it as it moved from my sight.
