Reports Report 2996f (Event 2996-2021)

Observer
Name Jennifer C
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was sitting on my balcony looking at the full moon and ocean when I see something dark break into pieces to the left. Initially I thought it was a small airplane having trouble flying because it seemed like it went down and then up. Then suddenly it exploded, continued going left and disappeared into the ocean. It happened very fast. I was in the balcony with my husband and when I said wow look at that and he turned, it was gone.
