| Name | Theresa C |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Sitting on front porch with my husband at 9:12 p.m. 8/25/17, clear skies, in the city, street lights on. Appeared out of no where, watched the tail change colors, moved very quickly then just seemed to burn up in a ball and disappears. Seemed very low, like lower than any helicopter would even fly. Right above houses and trees, only definitely above them even when it went out. Coolest thing ever saw, yet initially frightened us. Was nothing like shooting stars (meteorites) I've ever seen before. |
