Reports Report 556ge (Event 556-2014)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Michael R |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was moving very slowly from my perspective. I thought that it was a plane with landing lights on since there is an airport nearby, but it seemed strange that it would have the landing lights on that high up. When I read about the fireball noticed further south by other people in the news, I realized that I had probably witnessed it too. The trajectory of the other observers indicate that it probably was over Michigan although it would not have been as bright. I was driving at the time heading west and saw it out the windshield. I hope this helps out. |
