Reports Report 244v (Event 244-2019)

Observer
Name Stephen S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks There is a possibility that this was a burning plane, but the trajectory was reminiscent of a meteor. I was astounded by its brightness especially because of the lingering light from the setting sun, no stars were even too visible yet. I didn’t hear noises, but they may have been present, I was driving.
