I was completely taken off gaurds by this. The brightness rivals a high end flashlight. I seen it out of the corner of my eye and seen it long enough to get out of my chair and go to the window. It was going straight down from my point of view. It was not fast but the speed of a basketball dropping after it is thrown straight up in the air. Just mind boggling
