Reports Report 533af (Event 533-2012)

Observer
Name Russ A
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It seemed to be very close, not too far west of me. It was very large, not like the little white \"shooting stars\" I\'ve seen before. If I was to guess, I would say it flew over the Churchill Woods Forest Preserve.
