Observer
Name Chris N
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was coming from the WNW going ESE . I was facing the north and thought it was an airplane, but no noise and it was very bright. I watched it for about 3 seconds and then it broke apart over Lake Huron. No noise and the sky was still darker at 630 to 7am eastern time.
