| Delayed Sound | |
|---|---|
| Observation | No |
| Remarks | I expected to hear a sound because of how bright it was and the downward direction, but there was no sound during or after it disappeared straight down. It seemed to be larger than any plane, and further than any plane could be, and was falling extremely fast. No plane can fly that fast, or falls straight down. |

| Observation | No |

| Length | 5° |
| Remarks | I looked up standing in my front yard and saw a huge white ball streaking down at a high speed. It moved 10 times faster than a plane, directly down to the horizon and I expected to hear a \'boom\', but there was no sound. |
| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | No |
| Remarks | no flash, just a large white dot streaking down with no sound. |
