| Remarks | I have never seen anything like that before, at first it looked like a missile or maybe something falling off an airplane. The object was def on fire with flames falling from the sky pretty fast..silvery uptrail on top, object lost its fire, then turned to black and must have then hit the ground. We heard no sounds after it. It was very eerie |
