Reports Report 1959br (Event 1959-2026)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Lennon G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving and saw it on my left, it looked like it was directly over some houses. It looked like it appeared out of nowhere, and I didn't hear any booms or crashes. I'm not sure it was a meteor. The only other possibility I can think of was some sort of bottle rocket, but it was going straight down at atleast 40mph, and nobody would be launching one. The train behind it was much longer, but the brightest part was about 6ft long. Please email me if you have any more questions or speculations. Thank you. |
