| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | At 2:19, when the object has disappeared from line of sight and behind the tree line, I heard a distant but very audible sonic boom. In video you can judge it’s speed as a power line is between camera and object. I do have a second video but not as clear. It looked at first like a helicopter coming towards me with a light shining down in the distance. Was very bright had several pieces that had broken off and very long visible trail. |
