Observer
Name Charles T
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Not sure of exact location on the road (in a car) time is approximate, it appeared like a small airplane on fire at 500ft with flames shooting to the rear, it appeared to arc right to left. I had enough time to say to my wife what is that! She also saw it. It appeared over trees then disappeared over trees.
