| Remarks | Driving on PA turnpike westbound around 645 PM +/- I saw a very bright white light moving very fast in the sky (i was driving west, light was off to my left hand side). At first I thought it was a plane, but was moving too fast and too low and not blinking. Then I thought helicopter - but that didn’t make sense. It dropped down low below the tree line and my first thought was something had crashed as its movement was fast and went below tree line. I had planned to look this up when I arrived home on flight radar24. I forgot to do that. I saw reports today on this and added mine in |
