Observer
Name Susan K
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I first thought it was a burning small airplane, but there was no smoke or trail. When it went over the horizon, I watched for signs of an explosion or burst of light. I was in my car, it didn't seem to be making any noise. It lasted about 2 or 3 seconds
