Reports Report 244i (Event 244-2019)

Observer
Name Tyler C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was just getting into my truck after work when I looked above the sears store and I saw a very bright light. At first I thought it was a shooting star but it was much brighter and I saw it for a couple seconds atleast before it disappeared. I have never seen anything like that before. It was interesting and unique enough that I decided to report it.
