Reports Report 6109atp (Event 6109-2022)

Observer
Name Margaret G
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks From my field of vision, I initially thought I was witnessing a helicopter with its cockpit on fire. Its height and speed were comparable to this. I ran outside to listen for any sounds of a crash. Fortunately, there was none. My second thought was, could it have been a missile as initially it flew in a straight line then as I ran to the French doors to watch, it veered away and out of my sight.
