| Remarks | brilliantly bright white with small area of blue/red at the point closet to the earth- have never seen anything like this before, it looked like a night sky shooting star only this was a beautiful sunny day and it was so close to earth. I was with my class( pre-k) no one saw it but me but my excitement caught their attention and we went to the area that it appeared and I found a small rock? don't know whether it could be from this but I have it, it is irregular in shape dark brownish, black and rough. |
