Observer
Name Shannen B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was just looking out the window and all of a sudden I saw a bright white streak go by. It was too fast for any airplane and much thicker then any shooting star I have seen. I was inside and heard no noise. I didn't see it burn out, it just went out of my field of view because I was at a window. I live near Hamilton airport but this def was not a plane!
