Reports Report 4033a (Event 4033-2018)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Barbara W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The sighting lasted such a short time, because it was traveling at a high rate of speed and because a building was in front of me so it disappeared behind the building rather quickly. The object was very large and seemed fairly close - not like when I see meteors in a meteor shower. It was many times that size so I kept waiting to hear a boom or some loud noise as it hit the earth, but I heard nothing. |
