Reports Report 2485b (Event 2485-2022)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Michelle T |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I cross referenced flight data because I thought a plane was crashing, but it was moving far too fast. The only aircraft visible from my position was a Janet Air plane bussing employees from Areas 51. Also, it sounded like a helicopter, but there was none in my airspace close enough to hear. |
