Reports Report 1156m (Event 1156-2022)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jay C |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | The object interposed itself between me and the truck stop building at address given. Flames extinguished suddenly, as does the light of a meteor, less than 100' above ground, leaving a small smoke trail. Given these reference points, I would estimate the object's size about that of a softball, though I saw nothing once the flame went out. It had to have landed between the building and I-10, where I was driving. |
