| Name | Julia W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This siting was viewed by myself as well as my friend who was in the car with me. It was frightening, I began stuttering trying to get him to look at it. We at first thought maybe a plane was crashing, but did not hear anything. I immediately came home and tried to Google siting, to see if anyone else had seen this event. And a few days later I found your site. I didn't hear anything on the news concerning what had fallen from the sky, and would like answers to why not. |
