| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Mischa K |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | There was no tail. This is the part that confuses me. as I’ve never seen one so low, and without a tail, but there were two others with me, and we all believe it was not man made, too fast to be a drone. Whatever it was had to land somewhere. Fragment perhaps? |
