| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Kenneth S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Happened while riding my riding tractor doing lawn work while listening to the radio (105.9FM), the radio just before my sighting happened to play the emergency alert test sounds, thought it was a missile at first and was about to hit the deck until I saw the fragmentation and trains and realized what it was. Had eyes on it when i was nearly turning the corner of my house, until it was not visible because of the tree line of the peoples houses across/diagonally from me. |
