| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Devon B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This wasn't a "shooting star" type meteorite... It was BRIGHT orange, COMPLETELY silent, and directly above the tree line. At first I thought a helicopter was on fire but there was no noise and it just disappeared. I took my dog out to the bathroom and looked directly up to see if it was going to rain. It started a little bit behind my head, went about 200 feet, and vanished. I've NEVER seen anything like this. |
