Reports Report 5559c (Event 5559-2019)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Marian and Chris A |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | We were driving in a car when we both saw this bright colored thing in the sky. It was above the street lights and street signals, so we both knew it was something unusual. We both saw it at the same moment. It was moving fast, from right to left( not sure of cardinal directions) It had somewhat of an arch and definitely looked like it was falling into the desert. It looked fairly close as if it would have hit the earth out by Interstate 10. We have witnessed meteor showers in Missouri but never anything this large. (only falling stars.) |
