Duration: 2 sec
No of observers: 2

Location: Fayetteville, GA, USA

Shape: Flash

Driving east on highway #54 between Peachtree, City Ga. toward Fayetteville Ga. My wife and I both witness what we expected to be a shooting star to our left which would be north of Fayetteville toward the Atlanta Airport. The travel distance of the object was much shorter arc than a shooting star and was much brighter than any I have ever witnessed.

The flash made was many times the size of any celestial object or airplane light, (flash made was approximately 1/5 the size of a half moon) it appeared as a large flash that moved a short distance and disappeared. It ddi not appear to be very high above the ground, slightly higher than a landing plane. It happened at 20:18 according to my vehicle clock.
