| Name | James H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Biggest and longest I have ever seen! A white ball from the south. About the size of a bb held at arms length. Large! It skipped and left green and red trails underneath it. And behind. It skipped several times. Each time displaying the green and red. It skipped one last time going north, away from me. It seemed to gain altitude and grew smaller. I believe it was kind of big and skipped off our atmosphere back into space. I have seen many meteorites and fireballs. One bollide WA state , 2018. This was the best ever! I hope I helped. |
