| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Kathy S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I thought it was a plane on fire, but there was no sound. I've seen shooting stars, but they are small and far away. This looked like something that was going to crash into the earth somewhere to my northwest. My father was an airline pilot so I think that is why I thought it looked like a plane or part of on fire and falling rapidly. |
