Remarks
a silvery metallic looking ball appeared over the elevated horizen on my left as i was traveling north.. it had no train/tail but it was very large and i thought for a moment that it was going to hit the earth in front of me because it started to go downward. almost immediately after that thought occurred to me it went into a flash like a sparkler on the fourth of july and dissappeared
