Observer
Name S S
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It began high in sky and looked like a regular shooting star but it seemed to be going slower than normal. But it continued down and began to appear larger like a soft ball. As it floated down and disappeared behind the trees it literally looked like a flaming ball of fire. No smoke, no noise, just a moving ball of fire with flames and no tail if that makes sense. Never seen anything like that before.
