Observer
Name Bill F
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was sitting on the smoke bench on break from work with my back facing west. I turned my head to the south to speak to a coworker who was sitting with his back to the south. Then I noticed a bright yellow glowing light or spark move from almost above my location and moved southward or maybe to the ground for about 2 sec. It disappeared as soon I said look.
