Reports Report 4905a (Event 4905-2017)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Sarah S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Approximately 30 minutes prior to this event, I saw a small object smaller than a golf ball but larger than a pea moving fast from the sky and hit the edge of the wheel well of my car as I was driving. There were no other vehicles on the long straight stretch of road, but there was no associated light with the object. It seemed strange given the initial circumstances but worth mentioning after having the additional experience. |
