Reports Report 4621e (Event 4621-2026)

Observer
Name Christine M
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It could have been space debris falling because it didn't have a trail. It was twice as big as the way a star appears in the sky and very bright and it fell straight down fast. I've seen shooting stars years ago when I was a kid and they go at an angle and they're like little streaks this was not like that. For a split second I thought for a split second a plane was crashing or something because it was just a light that appeared out of nowhere and just fell from the sky with no sound. It disappeared behind my tree line. It was witnessed by my daughter as well.
