| Remarks | Was driving home and saw what looked to be a bright plane light, and as fast as I notice it it got brighter and dropped so quickly in the matter of seconds and then turned yellow then a bright orangey red flash before it disappeard, I believe there might’ve been a black smoke trail afterwards it was dark and I was driving |
