Reports Report 6197cz (Event 6197-2020)

Observer
Name Karin M
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I am not entirely sure about the exact time. I could have been a couple of minutes after 18:30pm. But I am very clear on what I saw. At first I thought it was a plane crashing because it came almost straight down. Then I realized that it could not be a plane because it went too fast, plus there was no smoke and the light was green.
