| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I thought it was pretty breathtaking experience. My mom and I go for walks around the blocks varying hers or my house. We were just stepping down the ramp that leads up to my front porch when I first saw it and remarked, "That plane is moving really fast. And it's quiet...." Then we watched as it traveled for about 3 to 4 seconds in a South to North direction looking West. The main ball appeared larger than regular stars in the area at first. A fragment fell off and that left a faint orange trail. The main ball faded from white/light yellow to orange and was gone. Happened very fast, but was really neat to see!! I'll be keeping my head to the sky a lot more than usual now. |
