Reports Report 2158aw (Event 2158-2013)

Observer
Name Karen G
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I have never seen anything like that before. It was still day outside. I looked up and saw a burning object moving across the sky. It was so much bigger than a shooting star seen at night. It made me consider if it might be burning plane falling but it was going from left to right on the horizon. It disappeared over the trees. I had my sunroof open so I know for a fact that there was no 'boom' during or after.
