Reports Report 6719f (Event 6719-2021)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Marc V |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The object was very bright, although it was somewhere between white and orange. It's hard to remember the exact color. The time that I entered was a rough estimate. It could be anywhere within a 15 minute window, or maybe more. It was clearly in the atmoshphere and burning. As I said, there was no sound. The angle was fairly straight from left to right, but it was definitely pitching downward a bit. Again, there was no sound or sonic boom, so I assumed that the object was not "local." |
