| Name | Jane T |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I'm trying to find out more information about something I saw when I was about 12 years old approximately 1971, mid-afternoon or late afternoon, probably summertime we were wearing warm weather clothes. The sketch in the photo is pretty close to what I saw, but the fireball wasn't quite as big and it was a bit higher above the tree line. It's one of my most Vivid childhood memories but I can't find any information or corroboration about it. I think it was traveling roughly East by Southeast to West or Slightly North by Northwest. I know I saw it and I would appreciate if you can give me any information at all about this. Thank you! |
