| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Troy B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was so close, I can throw a baseball that high. It was about the size of a volleyball maybe a little smaller. It flew 8ft in front of me, and about 40 or 50ft over my head. The vapor trail was almost touching the top of my neighbors tree. I know exactly the direction it was traveling, if there nothing in the way I could walk a straight line to it. I just don't know how far away it would be. |
