Reports Report 653a (Event 653-2023)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | John S |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Object appeared to be heading directly towards me, at very low altitude almost horizontal to ground. Very startling. As it passed over right shoulder (traveling SSE to NNW), could see a small tail. Then it flamed out. I plan to search adjacent property for debris. There are no neighbors or anything else for miles behind my house. |
