| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Becky Z |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Not sure if it was because of the bright flare affecting my vision ...but after the flare, I thought I saw a black object with a white glow, white smoke, red and blue flames. I thought it was a jet coming down in our neighborhood, but I didn’t see a blast or explosion from impact. The blue flames made me think it was a type of gas. |
