Observer
NameConstance W
Experience Level2/5
RemarksI'm not exactly sure where I was at on the Hwy. It was a guess. I was very far away from it and I thought it was an airplane crashing. It scared me but I never saw any explosions when I got closer so I was relieved. There were 2 microwave towers nearby but they just flash. This thing moved in a straight line heading towards the ground.
