Bright glowing object falls from Arcata sky, air craft persues.
We were driving out of the Arcata marsh facing north. It lasted one second, maybe less. A bright star appeared in the sky and instantly began falling. It wasnt falling on an angle like a shooting star or meteor, it fell stright down. It was a white blue bright color that didnt change at all as it fell. It had no tail trailing behind it. It looked like a bright dot in the sky, like a falling star, but without the trail. It made no noise, and the color stayed the same as it fell. A plane was in the sky as we were driving; when the object fell the plane changed directions and began to head towards the fallen object. All 3 observers are Humboldt State University students. We all saw it as soon as it appeared as it was the brightest star in the sky.
