Reports Report 451a (Event 451-2012)

Observer
Name Tom B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It crashed not even 1/16 mile off the road in someones back yard. It was dark and I could see farm lights. If I hadn\'t had a deadline where I was going and pulling a trailer I would have stopped. It had to have a huge impact crater and easy to find. PLEASE LOOK for it. Tom
