Remarks I looked out my window to the north and saw overhead a ball of yellow traveling from approximately 1:00 to 3:00 when it disappeared behind a forest of trees to the east. By the time I got to the eastern facing window it was gone. A total of 5 seconds altogether including running from one room to the other. Gone in the blink of an eye.
