Reports Report 10404i (Event 10404-2025)

Observer
Name Jillian P
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks We were traveling east on Duffy Ln heading to our ranch. Right before passing the country school, both my 15yr old daughter and I saw what appeared to be a fireball that had a red exterior, yellow core, and a yellow tail. It seemed quite low to the ground. We expected it to make collision with the field behind the school but were surprised to see no evidence of anything hitting the ground. Almost as if it had disappeared.
