Reports Report 2802l (Event 2802-2014)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Anthony P |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This object was spotted by myself as I was driving towards Lake Geneva, WI while traveling 45mph on County Road H. The time was approximately 7:20pm.The object appeared from the peak of the horizon and made a rapid descent downward, sound was not heard as radio was playing. The large fireball which in the night, was a starlight color had lasted the entirety of the sighting which was about 10 seconds until it was no longer visible as it's elevation rapidly lowered and the terrain had blocked the view. Azimuth angle in selection 5 in the form is invalid in this scenario as I watched it travel below the horizon, not above. If contacted by email I can attach images further illustrating what was observed. Theory: Falling debris or meteorite. |
