| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Deanna R |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Saw other people comment about it online (Facebook & Twitter) around the same time, and people in Illinois on Twitter- "swore it entered the atmosphere". I would love to know what this was, & where! I was looking at the moon when I saw what I at first assumed was an airplane. Then it dropped almost vertically into the horizon and got massively bright. |
