Observer
Name Michael B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks My wife and I both saw it; I was driving and she was in the passenger seat. Because we were driving we couldn't hear any sound, and couldn't watch to closely or go to investigate if it hit the ground. It was a partly cloudy night and it seemed like it came out of a cloud.
