Reports Report 4013e (Event 4013-2018)

Observer
Name Devon K
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Driving south on 880 (Fremont) when I saw a bright yellow / orange light descending from high in the horizon, pulled my phone out to catch the last 7-10 seconds before the light went out. From my best educated guess it seemed as if it was a signal flare (although it appeared to move / descend much faster). Figured I’d submit the report Incase anyone else saw it data can be used to triangulate the object. (Work in Photogrammetry/ optical Metrology for a living ). ( although just saw on the news as I’m typing this up- space x launched a rocket ... doh) -Devon
