It looked like a fairly, you know, a small end, but normal size passenger jet, and it
00:06
looked normal.
00:07
It was level.
00:09
So I looked back at the road, and then I looked back again just to see if I could maybe see
00:12
it land.
00:14
And this was three seconds later, and at that point it was banked all the way to the right,
00:17
I would say maybe past the right, past 90 degrees.
00:21
I could see the underside of it.
00:22
It was lit up a very bright yellow, and there was a stream of sparks underneath it.
00:28
It looked like a Roman candle, if you ever hold one of those on the 4th of July, but
00:31
it was much, much bigger than that.
00:32
It was high off the ground.
00:34
I didn't see anything beyond that.
00:35
I didn't see any helicopter.
