Reports Report 3868aj (Event 3868-2026)

Observer
Name Sophie W
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks The object appeared to be bright and stationary for several seconds before it abruptly dropped straight down and disappeared between the trees on our horizon. There was no trail. This leads me to believe it was either traveling directly towards us or directly away.
