Observer
Name Topher F
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was driving and noticed the object out of the corner of my left eye. It looked like a thin trail, then I saw a small flare and the light disappeared before it met the horizon. It was still dark outside, so I was unable to see if there was any smoke or trail.
