Remarks It looked like an airplane. But I noticed it started heading to the ground. All of a sudden it went black. It looked like what I thought was an airplane, that it had experienced a total power failure. Was heading downwards towards the ground fast, no light. I was in a passenger side of a car and was expecting to see, hear an explosion.
