| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Natasha S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I saw this in the sky clear and brighter than anything I've ever observed in the sky. I rushed home (took me about 1 minute to get home)...ran inside to wake up my husband who was asleep in front of our TV - I noticed our satellite was out and the screen was blank. I immediately turned on the AM news radio station in anticipation of immediate news...and NOTHING was mentioned. I cannot be the only person to have seen this...I saw it very clearly. My initial thought was that it was a bomb. It was way too big, bright, and high in the sky to be any kind of firework and there was no sound. Somebody else HAD to have seen this. I have never seen nor reported any kind of incident such as this. I only came across your website while looking for information immediately after my observation. It was incredible. |
