| Remarks | It caught my attention in my peripheral vision and when I looked, I saw it for about a second before it went below the treeline, but the tail was white, and not as bright as the ball, and was only visible for one or two seconds after the ball itself had gone below said tree line. It also looked like it was very far away. |
