Reports Report 1528eq (Event 1528-2012)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Dingo |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I also saw right before that, a \"plane\" headed out (west) super high over the ocean (I\'m a mile from the coastline) and thought it might be a jet headed to hawaii. A few minutes later I realized there were no flashing lights on the \"plane\" and figured it must have been a military jet, it was high and moving fast. A few minutes later I saw the \"meteor\" cross the path of where the jet had been, only much lower and heading in a northern direction. |
