| Name | William O |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I live on top of a ridge, I see planes all the time. At anytime I can see 7 planes , Dulles Airport, BWI Airport are close by. I observed this out my window , It caught the corner of my eye. I jumped up to look at it closer . It was gone in a couple seconds , Low , Bright and fast. The planes I see are in the sky for minutes 5 or 10. Also this traveled on the dark sky side of the property. I also should mention , It looked big. . I did go outside to see if I could see or hear it crash . but if was just very dark, no sound . It was awesome. I tried to see if anyone else saw it but I can't find anyone. Very rural here. |
