Observer
NameRoger N
Experience Level3/5
RemarksThis was definitely not a meteor or a chinese latern! it went drectly over my head only about 100 feet up. I looked right up at it. It was moving about 100 mph in a straight line towards San Antonio and slowly gained altitude from when it went over my head. At first I thought it was a helicopter that was on fire, but soon realized it was not. It was totally silent. A few of my neighbors saw it as well.
