| Name | Adrea G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I had stepped outside around 7:28 pm to make a phone call, about 5 minutes into my conversation as I was staring up at the sky I saw what can only be described as the closest, brightest ball of light I have ever seen. I have watched meteor showers before and they seem much farther away, much briefer and blue to blueish white. This felt close, was low in the horizon and the ball was light yellow/yellow and the tail was streaked with an orange hue. It appeared behind me and traveled west towards the inlet nearby. It stayed what seemed to be level on the horizon before disappearing. I wish I had a video or picture to share but I was so in awe of it and only had 5 seconds to react. Was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen |
