Reports Report 1783a (Event 1783-2015)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Matt S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was clearly not a plane, there were several in the sky but nothing like this. It appeared to be on fire, extremely bright and much larger than the ISS which I believe flew over around the same time. It travelled horizontally and we lost it behind the tree line at the point listed. |
