Reports Report 224c (Event 224-2014)

Observer
Name Jackson J
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks A bright light that fell directly from the sky FAST near the Arlington airport. Did not appear to be a traditional landing of any kind but did appear more as a light than a fireball. Not sure if it was a fireball or an aircraft (which is likely due to proximity to the airport), but was a bright and sudden drop from the sky.
