Remarks I thought a commercial plain was diving to the ground (it look like it was going straight down with a bright white light. It was falling towards the ground, but the. Seems to stop making progress to ground, almost like it’s was hovering and then was gone. (Not like a ufo, but hovered as if it was long heavy enough to plumage to the ground, like it was being slowed by wind or air current). I have never seen a fireball, shooting star or anything like this.
