Reports Report 1750zc (Event 1750-2016)

Observer
Name Christina B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks The colors are hard to explain, a white center with trailing colors around it like colors of a bunson burner with yellow and orange at the edges. The flash that happened just a second before it came into view was bright blue lighting up the sky above my truck as if an explosion. My radio was turned up and as I turned into my driveway I saw the flash then the fireball unsure of what was happening and a little scared to get out of the truck. I even looked up to see if there were more before I ran into the house. I thought it was a shooting star and thought...I didn't even have time to make a wish.
