Reports Report 6742bi (Event 6742-2020)

Observer
Name Bill M
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It appeared to be 500 to 750 yards in front of me. If a Ford 150 pickup truck was totally engulfed in flames and was dropped out of the sky... that is about what it looked like. I was in a car driving 50mph in total darkness. It appeared at the top of my windshield and came straight down flaming all the way down. I did not hear an impact.
