Reports Report 3224d (Event 3224-2026)

Observer
Name Adam C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It looked like it was heading down towards earth. It moved so fast but luckily I had a wide view in front of me. It was very cloudy as the moon was behind clouds. The object was very bright (blue/green) with what looked like a trail of Smoke out the back. I was driving west to east and the object was headed east.
