Reports Report 735d (Event 735-2011)

Observer
Name Hill A
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I had just turned onto the highway (rte 20) and was heading east. The speed of the object is what caught my attention. It was large, looked grey, as is it was a large falling boulder, lit from beneath from the streetlights below. Had a slight arc to it. Lost sight of it behind trees. I didn\'t report it because it wasn\'t at all bright. It looked as if somebody had lobbed a huge boulder from one side of the highway to the other. Maybe it was in dark flight?
