Reports Report 2092aba (Event 2092-2013)

Observer
Name Tom B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was driving south on SR9. It was about 2/3 the size of a football. It was at a very low altitude, maybe 30 ft, and it crossed the road right in front of me. I'd say it was only traveling about 40 - 50 mph. It was dark out, so I could not have seen a smoke trail.
