| Remarks | Ball was the shape of a roach egg with sparks off tips. Not bright enough to light up trees. 5 seconds seeing though trees until I got clear view. Appeared as big as my fist at arms length. Not too bright either, pure white. Trees blocked my view so I moved at the last second to see it separate into 4 or 5 almost equal sized squarish chunks with rounded corners which faded out quick. No sound. |
