Observer
NameCathy P
Experience Level1/5
RemarksI drive a chevy bolt (very low to ground), the east view in front of me turned vibrant light blue that quickly grew to this lightning blue color, I leaned forward and looked slightly left and saw the blue ball that then turned into a big, thick fire train for 3-5 seconds then disappeared. I didn't have to tilt my head up to look at it, I just had to look to the left and lift my eyes. This was heading East on SR 74 at mile marker 12.
