| Name | Bradley D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | When I first saw it I instantly thought it was an incredibly fast jet. The light appeared to be the headlight on a jet. We have a lot of Hornets in the area and I presumed this was a new kind of jet. Just as I made it up the hill past the tree line it disappeared. From the way it was traveling I was sure it would be in full forward and low view, close enough to see the markings on the plane. Instead it vanished. The next morning at 610am, I saw another fireball from the same place but it was located in a different direction and trajectory. (I'll report that one too). |
