Reports Report 4759eh (Event 4759-2024)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Destiny G |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving home from work so hard to get exactly where I was on the road. I had come around the curb and seen a reddish streak in the sky. Went right to left. Became white and bright as it streaked across. Hit a barrier and exploded, and continued streaking down. Lasted just a moment. And absolutely no sound as my windows were down in the car. I can’t seen any trails or any evidence of the event at all. The brightness became more than the brightest moon was more like sticking a led flashlight to your eye then darkened to the explosion then light again just going dimmer. |
