Reports Report 3308a (Event 3308-2020)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | David S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I would say that I heard the loud bang sound 1-2 seconds before I initially saw the objects. As the objects passed over my head my sight of them matched their sound position. There was no delay. The sound they made was a whooshing or low pitched whistle sound as if the air was drastically slowing it down. I had thought for 2 months about this believing someone had shot a launcher gun nearby and I was seeing it's projectiles fly by right above me. |
