Reports Report 3081d (Event 3081-2017)

Observer
Name James S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks The object was no more than 300 yard beginning WSW and finally W of me. It had a trajectory that seemed between 30 degrees and almost flat. Size/appearance: Began small but rapidly grew larger with a bluish flaming appearance before rapidly fading to nothing. I was driving my car, so road noise would have masked most sound. I heard nothing that corresponded to what I saw.
