Reports Report 3641b (Event 3641-2016)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jim D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving home, when a bright light in the sky caught my attention. It seemed to be moving too fast to be an aircraft, and then it broke up and went dark. I think that I may have seen it sooner or higher in the sky, but for the fact that I was driving and my windshield does not afford me a complete view of the sky. |
