| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Mike M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It seemed to travel slower.than a shooting star yet faster than a plane crashing. Shape seemed rectangular like space debris? It appeared quite large which made it seem local and when I saw the flashing light at tree line at termination, it seemed like it hit the Earth about 5 to 10 miles.away. |

| Remarks | As it passed below a tree linear over me since I live on a hill and it was uphill from me, I saw several flashes from the tree line similar to a lightning strike or an electrical high voltage short circuit at a substation, it was mainly a white flashing effect. |
