Reports Report 667aif (Event 667-2013)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Corey D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Aside from the brightness of the object, the characteristic which most influenced my attention was how seemingly close it was. The elevation of the object seemed closer than a plane landing at an airport. My girlfriend, who was with me in the car, remarked that it "looked like something was crashing to the ground." I found that I was surprised that the object (as large and bright as it was) disintegrated before making contact with the earth. |
