Reports Report 3493f (Event 3493-2023)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Christine B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I saw it only at tree level, big and very bright white (no green or orange), moving very fast from the top of the tree line, straight down and then obscured by trees. It did not have a tail and I did not see any explosion after. I heard what sounded like the low, very distant rumble of thunder (no thunder storms in the area) but I do not know if it had any connection to this event. |
