NUFORC Sighting 129382

Occurred: 2016-08-19 22:00 Local
Reported: 2016-08-20 11:09 Pacific
Duration: 1 minute
No of observers: 1

Location: Grass Valley, CA, USA

Shape: Light

The bright light did not have characteristics of an asteroid and it descended, like it was falling, rather than streaking.

I was driving north on Hwy 49, towards the town of Grass Valley, when I witnessed a very bright light high in the night sky, descending extremely fast toward earth. It happened very quickly, and due to mountain terrain and tree coverage, I lost sight of it.

I did not see any fire or hear any explosion.
