Reports Report 2092cj (Event 2092-2013)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jesse L |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The object moved extremely fast across the sky, faster than a plane or even shooting stars I've seen before. The light intensity was enough to cast actual illumination on me. I first noticed it while running. I saw light hitting my arm. I knew it wasn't a street light because I run there every day. I looked up and it was so big and moving so fast that it startled me. It really was like nothing I've ever seen, except it did resemble a somewhat smaller version of the videos captured in Russia earlier this year when the meteor crashed into a warehouse. |
