| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The person I was with (who didn't see it because his back was to it and it had disappeared by the time he turned around) saw a FB post from someone in Iowa who described the same thing, and it happened at the same time. I'm in Missouri. It fell fast, and disappeared behind trees. |
