Reports Report 1109g (Event 1109-2025)

Observer
Name Allen C
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I think the angles I described are fairly accurate. I was driving and just swerved to avoid hitting a rabbit and as I looked straight forward again it flashed very high in horizon and disappeared almost immediately. I could be exaggerating but it almost seems to sparkle at the tail. The ball itself appeared pretty white with yellow and green haze surrounding the perimeter.
