Reports Report 150a (Event 150-2012)

| Name | Adam |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I've never seen one like this. Shooting stars are one thing, but this was different. Seemed very close - within a few miles. I have never in my life seen one move so directly downward. I know it could have been moving forward relative to my facing, but it definitely appeared to be traveling at a downward trajectory rather than arcing through the atmosphere. |
