Reports Report 1169b (Event 1169-2018)
| Observer | |

| Name | JC H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | There was also another object further to the south, likely a plane or helicopter due to its blinking lights, and this object was heading north quickly. Once it crossed the path where I saw the fireball disappear, the object changed direction to the east and then to the south and seemed to pause and then its lights disappeared from sight. I heard sound after that. The entire thing was so odd, I looked up meteors in Michigan 2018 and found this site. I've seen a lot of meteors, but never one so orange. |
