Reports Report 2207x (Event 2207-2013)

Observer
Name Caroline V
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks My son and I were returning from an 8th grade track meet in Naperville traveling directly eastbound when we saw a flash similar to when fireworks are shot up, but in the wrong direction (down instead of up) and moving very fast. It was only a second or two, so at first we weren't sure of what we'd seen. It was almost dusk.
