Reports Report 3607i (Event 3607-2023)

Observer
Name Alison I
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was taking out the garbage near midnight as I had forgotten. I saw a very large, very bright yellow/orange ball of light travelling down towards the earth at an angle. Unfortunately I could not see it as it got closer to the earth as my view was obstructed by trees as it got lower. This sighting lasted only about a second and I was utterly shocked. I thought it may be a plane crash but it was too silent and "round".
