Reports Report 2908akt (Event 2908-2014)

Observer
Name Nancy M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was fairly dark since we just set our clocks back an hour over the weekend, I was driving home from work to get home in time for a dinner reservation at 7:00 pm. It distracted me from watching the road because it was just above my line of vision well above the tree line, a very bright, round ball with a trail like fireworks. Since I was in a car with closed windows, I couldn't tell if there was any sound.
