Observer
Name Albert T
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was sitting in a conference room facing a window at the opposite end of the room, to the east. A really bright something appeared to come straight down from the top of the window, get brighter as it travelled down (east), and then explode with an intense flash just above and between the tops of two nearby skyscrapers. The 3 or 4of us who were facing the window at that time all saw it.
