Observer
Name
Christopher C
Experience Level
1/5
Remarks
It was very low in the horizon and appeared to be moving parallel to the ground. I first thought it was a small plane but then the light grew longer in length prior to losing 4-5 fragments to the rear about 1 second prior to the main area of light disappearing.
