Reports Report 1273c (Event 1273-2024)

Observer
Name Cherilee J
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks What I saw what a very bright light in front of my apt complex as I was driving in. As I noticed it..it immediately (and extremely fast) went straight downward . I thought for sure I would have heard an explosion or something since I had no clue what it was. I did a little looking around and this is the only thing that comes close to what I saw.
