| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I've worked as medical helicopter crew for 25 years. It was moving extremely fast from my right to left. I thought maybe it was a fighter without anti-collision strobes on, but I believe it was too fast for that's why I think it was a fireball/meteor. It disappeared suddenly, in an instant. It was white in color and left no contrail. If my visual field side-to-side was 180 degrees, it covered about 1/3rd of that in 1-2 seconds. |
