Reports Report 1224g (Event 1224-2013)

Observer
Name Karen P
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I had turned my head away from the horizon and then turned it back seconds later so it appeared to come out of nowhere just above the horizon and drop at great speed below the horizon in a second. Had very little time to observe and couldn't say where it started from. Seemed so close I thought it had hit the mountains in front of me.
