Reports Report 5783h (Event 5783-2023)

Observer
Name Allison D
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was a slow descent and very large and I was in a moving vehicle going approximately 50. It was so bright it almost looked like a falling street light but fell like a spark from a firework or maybe even a flare gun. But again, it was as white as an LED streetlight and it disappeared quickly. There was potentially one more witness in front of me in a van. They slowed down at the stoplight very strangely and i was about 3 paces behind them so i slowed too wondering why they slowed in the middle of the intersection and that's when i saw it. Ive seen the tiny meteor showers in virginia this time of the year but nothing like this
