Reports Report 355p (Event 355-2013)

Observer
Name Daniel B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was watching phoenix sky harbor's air traffic, as the flight path was right over my house that evening, and while watching an aircraft the streak appeared with a flash with fragments in front and higher altitude (assumption). I know the precise time because I called the local news station two minutes after witnessing the event and they had no other callers.
