Observer
Name Brandi J
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Wasn't sure what I was seeing. I was driving along and saw a commit looking thing that was yellow in the center and glowing green around it. Lasted for a few seconds. There are a few homes in the area that are fairly spread out. It looked like it was going into a field before it disappeared.
