| Name | patrick B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | we live at 9K ft. with a clear view of the southwestern horizon.... We saw a large blue (with some yellow) object coming down slowly to our SW ......We enjoy watching meteor showers up here as we have no light pollution. With that said, it didn't appear like any other meteor we've seen......large & blue, slow, & no real tail to speak of. The wife commented it could be a plane crashing. I've checked local news & find no reports of either the flash or a plane crash. Thank you |
