| Remarks | I just happen to look up on my way to the dumpster and I saw what appeared to be an object on fire for about 5-7 seconds ,looked like it was close enough to have landed some 200 yds away , but from my point of view it was coming down on fire and then when it looked like it was inevitably going to hit ground wherever and went like poof and went out. I listened for a crashed or explode but nothing but I believe I heard the object extinguish. |
