| Name | Nathalie H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | it looked like a plane falling in fast motion (no time to even think of grabbing camera, it lasted like a blink, slightly more than a second) about 5 miles slightly West of North (350 degrees). What mostly caught my attention was how brightly silver it looked like the sun was shining on new metal. I knew it couldn't be a plane due to how vertical and rapid the fall was plus it had a short flamed tail attached. I didn't report it sooner because I waited on my family to explain what i saw and how to Google it. I feel very fortunate I saw that! |
