Observer Name Delia W Experience Level 2/5 Remarks I was driving west along Bond Road. It was heading west. It just appeared burned a very bright white train. The ball was red and I remember what looked like green flame close to the ball. It looked like it might strike in Elk Grove but I really couldn’t tell. Then it was gone.
