Reports Report 1511f (Event 1511-2024)

Observer
Name Rosellen S
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I saw it adjacent to a plane with its blinking lights and whatnot, and it was brighter than the plane. My initial thought was that it was a plane crash, but the direction was so downward and the sparkle and disappearance made me Think it was a meteor! Thank you for the website, I am so happy to know others spotted it too (I was driving and turning to the left onto the highway on ramp when I saw it.)
