The Sky was very clear, no clouds and the sun was out bright blue sky temp was about 55 degrees was sitting on my front pouch enjoying a cool April mourning.. At first I thought I had seen a plane falling from the sky on fire and then realized how round looking it was never heard anything. First time ever seeing this during the day
