Name | Nellie W |
Experience Level | 1/5 |
Remarks | My husband and I were driving in his truck with the windows closed, therefore I wouldn’t be able to hear any sound. Also it looked like a round fireball falling from the sky, orange in the middle and light yellow (like a light) surrounding the orange ball. It was a bright sunny day with no clouds and I was still able to see it clearly and bright. It left a long trail (like a long tail) behind it as it fell from the sky which vanished quickly. It also appeared to me that it landed in the field behind the house but I guess it just kept going. It was definitely a first and exciting sight for me to witness. My husband also witnessed it. |
