Reports Report 92eq (Event 92-2014)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Sergeant First Class Jonathan H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was on the phone talking to a colleague while driving my car and at first I thought it was a plane on fire since it was so bright and such a wide ball of fire traveling at the speed of an airplane. It was very bright against a dark sky, then was obscured by a cloud, then briefly reappeared. It was very strange that I didn't see anything more, like an impact or an explosion. I was actually in my Army uniform driving home from National Guard duty. |
