Reports Report 264bx (Event 264-2014)

Observer
Name Anderson A
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was orange glowing with blue in the center and shaped like an upside down triangle going straight down. Similar to a stealth bomber going down in flames.I live near the airport in dfw and it dwarfed the size of the airplanes in the background. It was so fast and big I expected to hear it hit the ground near.
