Observer
Name Jake H
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I’m not sure if I made my sighting clear when completing the form. I was watching tv and I seen a bright orange light through my window (located on the back wall where my tv is). The ball appeared to fall vertically, however I’m not sure if this object was in orbit or fell to the ground. It appeared circular and was yellow in colour.
