| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | yes, I live by flight path of the airport in Council bluffs, so I know what planes look like coming and going. I was actually laying in bed and saw the light. it looked like a larger ball than usual (like then planes are in a distance, but heading straight toward you). and suddenly I realized it was traveling MUCH FASTER that an airplane does or can, like it was falling, but sideways. so I got out of bed to look and it had already disappeared. not visible more than a few seconds. |
