Reports Report 3216cl (Event 3216-2016)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Daniel B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Though there is an airfield to the South, and I have seen small planes and helicopters before travelling roughly that same path, I am sure it was not a plane or helicopter because there was no sound and the light was much brighter than aircraft lights. Also the light was bright in my direction though the object was travelling from the left to the right, high in the sky. I'm sure the object was travelling hundreds of mph, but not supersonic (no sonic boom). |
