| Name | Pam B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I never saw anything like this! At first, I thought it was a plane crashing, but it had a blue/green tip and then it just disappeared. We live near Islip McArthur Airport on Long Island, NY, and this is not a trajectory that the planes normally would take. It looked more like a free fall at a steep angle. Please keep me posted. |
