Reports Report 4459c (Event 4459-2018)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jeannette R |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Amazing! It appered as the tail end of an airplane passed by. I saw the light of the plane flickering, then a bright object falling. (I initially thought something fell from the plane.) It dropped in elevation rapidly. Quickly, a large fire ball with tail fire was clear. (Due to a Rose Bowl game there was also a good year blimp in close proximity to me, not sure if they have cameras on the blimp) |
