Experience Level2/5
RemarksIt looked as if it was a rocket. After it was falling straight down for about 3 or 4 seconds it spit into 2 different objects right before it fell behind our tree line. It was falling in the exact direction of the Roanoke-Blacksburg Airport. We called the police to let them know. They contacted the airport and it is being investigated. That is all we know at the moment.
