Remarks | I was looking east in backyard on porch and not looking at sky at all and the flash caught the corner of my eye( from the south, like a fire fly would do). I saw it was much larger and brighter and very different from any of the usual shooting stars that I see here. It seemed very "close" and low . Usually I see the shooting stars way up in the sky and they look more like a twinkle as they fall. Hope this is of some use to you and thanks for your time. I didn't realize these sightings were so important ,so if I see anymore I'll let you know. P.S. I was talking on phone at the time so not sure about any sounds plus I'm near Orlando international airport, there were no planes at time and it was pretty quiet.P.S.S...this was NOT an airplane!!! |
