Reports Report 3869au (Event 3869-2026)

Observer
Name Michael K
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was driving south and was listening to music so I couldn't hear any sound if it made any. By the time it caught my eye and I turned my head to look directly at it it was about at the end of its observable flight. I do not know how long before that it was visible. I just picked it up over my left shoulder (TRAVELING SOUTH) almost perpendicular to my direction of travel. It traveled parallel to me.

Remarks At the end it didnt flash but it did end in a white light at tge very end. The total event seemed like it went in a very slight cone shape or very steep slim triangle shape. Ever so slightly. It was so fast it was hard to tell for sure but I got the feeling like it was separating. It appeared to me that was wider at the end then when It first caught my eye.
