Reports Report 6846es (Event 6846-2024)

Observer
Name Lnda C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was just like something I have seen in a movie. It was beautiful and so fast. I hope I gave a report that can help. Please reach out if you have any more questions. I was actually driving on Susquehanna Teail Road, heading to Glen Rock Road when I saw it. It was low and headed on a downward angle. And heading very close to the ground. I think it just has to have landed on the ground nearby. It seemed so close.
