Observer
Name James and Julie S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Wife and I were talking on back porch, saw brief ball at high speed transition from blue to white leaving a stardust like trail, haeding straight towards southeast around 21:35. It shot from our field of view behind the trees in the horizon and popped snapped after briefly intensifying in brightness. My wife's view was able to see a final white dot fading to nothing after the snap popping.
