Observer
NameJim P
Experience Level1/5
RemarksIt was a very large ball of light that reminded me of a falling star, except that it was way too large for a star and it wasn’t nighttime. The sky was still blue with the sun going down making the horizon a reddish pink color. The light was bright and burnt out within a couple seconds as it fell toward the horizon.
