Reports Report 1084l (Event 1084-2018)

Observer
Name Tom D
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was driving to work and it completely caught my attention in the upper right windshield. Bright and way faster than a plane. It disappeared behind a treeline and I slowed down and moved to shoulder to see if there was an explosion but could not see where it truly terminated. Very cool experience, for sure!
