| Name | Brianna L |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was very sparkly and INTENSELY bright, and initially I thought it was a baseball-sized object at an altitude of no more than a house's second story -- but like, I only noticed it because I was out getting a water bottle from my car, heading up the driveway and watching my feet, and suddenly it was daytime, all over the neighborhood, except in a bright blue-green light, *so* I feel like anything that bright and that far-reaching would have had to be much further away height-wise in order to not blind me once I looked at it, which I did in enough time to catch the sparkly ball arcing across the sky for a second or two (total light duration 3-4 seconds). I would have assumed fireworks or something man-made, but again, it was SO bright, and also completely silent. |
