| Name | Susan C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | We were sitting inside on our couch facing the window, watching tv, and for a raccoon that kept coming back to raid our bird feeder out on back back. It got brighter in the sky above the window, then real bright as what looked like a volleyball sized really bright ball lit up the whole area and looked like came down somewhere across the bypass here out back, with like little spark or pcs sometimes coming off of it but still with it. I know it could of been going across, we're on a lg hill but it looked like it was going in a downward angle like going down like on the cemetery down below, and then it was gone, no crashing sounds or fire. Was amazing, wish I could of got my head around it fast enough to get a pic but it all happened really fast, but I'll never forget it...was awesome. :) |
