Reports Report 8108e (Event 8108-2021)

Observer
Name Jeff N
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was driving east on route 106 in bridgewater towards east bridgewater. I saw the flash streaking downward to the left of the moon. It wasn’t up like a firework definitely downward towards the horizon. Bright white. As bright or brighter than moon. There was no trailing upwards like a flare. It was all a downward motion for 2-5 seconds.
