Reports Report 1855a (Event 1855-2022)

Observer
Name Ken J
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks This was unique in a way I never seen before. It's heading was east. Incredibly low, fast moving and appeared to have fallen to ground just over a thousand feet or so which I'm certain was not the case. My view was terminated by the tree line. If it had made contact with ground my guess would be several miles east at best.
