Reports Report 331ag (Event 331-2012)

Observer
Name Carly C
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks This was a fast moving white ball in the sky. I\'ve seen shooting stars before. This did not seem like one. It was bigger and brighter and coasted along the sky. It was faster than a plane. This was brighter and bigger than a falling star and it coasted smoothly and I could see it much longer than I could a shooting star.
