Reports Report 3092bq (Event 3092-2016)

Observer
Name JAMES W
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This object appeared in our skylight coming down in an almost vertical trajectory. In a second or so it passed behind my tall tree line. It did not flame out – I am sure it hit earth in the 12443 to 12484 zip area or a little west of there. It was very large and seemed very close to our position. My wife and I both saw it although she says it was bright yellow and I remember bright yellow with a glowing orange center. Indoors with the ceiling fan on we could not hear any noise if there may have been some.
