Reports Report 1227s (Event 1227-2011)
| Observer | |

| Name | Steven S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Contacted county communications to report at 7:25 pm eastern time because my son suggested I report it to someone. It seemed to be coming from NW to SE, say from Morganton towards Charlotte. It was definitely burning. As a pilot, I assume the speed was far greater than any aircraft could travel. |
