Reports Report 3434lv (Event 3434-2013)

Observer
Name Brenda V
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was short lived. I was heading down the road when I saw it but looked to see where I was at the time. I thought it was a falling star at first, but it was much lower than falling stars and went more horizontal than falling stars. And I was very surprised at the color change from bright white to a yellow-orage then to blue and then it disappeared. Cool to see.
