| Remarks | I saw this as I was driving home tonight, so I'm sure that affects my angles. I was driving about 35mph. I first saw a bright white line that got brighter as it grew into a definite thing on fire. I could see it was a thing that had white flames dancing around it. I felt like it was close because of the amount of detail. And I wanted to go search for it because it disappeared behind the tree line, but I knew there was no way I could find it. It just seemed like it was close enough to find. I don't recall noticing a sound. In the oast, I've seen fast white streaks across the sky but nothing like this. It looked like something on fire falling, but the fire was white. |
