Reports Report 1026a (Event 1026-2014)
| Observer | |

| Name | Patricia R |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | The visual size and appearance of this 'fireball' was different from what I have usually observed with meteors. The body of the fireball was very large, and had an appearance similar to a spotlight shining from underwater. It had a wavering jello-ish liquid like round form. It may have been because it was tumbling and the material it was composed of, just my opinion, but, it was quite unusual. |
