Observer
Name Leslie Jay C
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks The ball of light was large and drew my attention from my TV program and move quickly and did not leave a trail from what I could see. It went over the mountain in the direction of Villars from Leysin and saw a large ball of fire quickly pass over the ski resort from my living room. It was in the area of the radio tower that can be seen from Leysin.
