Observer
Name john
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Well,first of all nobody beleives me becuase i was the only one that saw it because i was oiut on hwy 27 and the nearst car behind me must have been 3 or 4 miles away. When i was driving down this road that day going home to georgia i saw a very large object about the size of 3 semi trucks coming thru the clouds at a very slow speed and it was on fire on the front of it and what was strange was that the rock was tubbling and the fire stay fix in front of it and it was different colors. I first thought it was a plane on fire and i was about to witness a crash. When i first appeared on the horizon it disappeared behind two low lining clouds then reappeared about a mile away from the road so i stopped in the highway to watch and it was about 3 00ft above the ground as it went right in front of me accross hwy 27 and i watched it hit the ground and knock a hole in it and as the dirt was displaced into the air it the dirt came back down on top of it and all you could see was what looked like a large rock that had been ther for centuries but i no it just landed there from GOD knows where. I would have went to see it first hand up close but there was a lot of mud and water present and beside that it hit the ground in alligator alley. I stood there amazed at what i just witnesses and said to myselk if that would have hit down town miami then it would have knock a big building down and so i went on to the house and i have told a lot of people but nobody beleives it anyway.
