NUFORC Sighting 23704

Occurred: 2002-07-11 01:00 Local
Reported: 2002-07-11 00:26 Pacific
Duration: 3 seconds(e)
No of observers: 1

Location: Sandy, UT, USA

Shape: Light

I saw an unusual falling star.

I saw what could have been a falling star but it didn't "act" like any falling star I have seen before. It appeared like any falling star but there was no streaking, the light was more substantial (like an unblinking airplane light) and though it was moving fast it was not as fast and fleeting as falling stars seem to be. Also, it didn't vanish in the middle of the sky. Instead, the light stayed consistant and seemed to "fall" behind the Wasatch Mountains in the east. I would be interested in knowing if anyone else saw this and if it was a meteor or whatever.
