Reports Report 2917u (Event 2917-2013)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jim N |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The light moved extremely fast, above low clouds, as I was driving west, from behind me and into my field of vision. The path appeared to be due west. There was something of a trail or tail of light, but didn't appear to be smoke. I remember seeing a commercial airplane in the same general frame of view, but couldn't tell if the plane was above or below the fireball, or if they would have been able to see it. |
