| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Aubrey K |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | We were driving home and saw the bright light shoot down. It only lasted a few seconds. It was bright, quick, and almost immediately was gone. It seemed to have gotten bigger right before it went back to black. No trail. Nothing left over. Just quick, bright, and thicker than a shooting star. It was also coming almost straight down. Definitely seemed as if SOMETHING entered the atmosphere and burned up. |
