I_was_observing the Satan/(Sāţān) having_fallen as lightning out_of the heaven.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
ἐθεώρουν τὸν Σατανᾶν ὡς ἀστραπὴν ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ πεσόντα
˱I˲_/was/_observing ¬the Satan as lightning out_of the heaven /having/_fallen
Jesus uses a simile to express that while his 72 disciples were out proclaiming the kingdom of God, he discerned that this was a quick and decisive defeat for Satan. If your readers would be familiar with lightning, you could use the same simile in your translation. Otherwise, you could use another comparison to something that happens rapidly and evidently.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ πεσόντα
out_of the heaven /having/_fallen
While Jesus actually did see this in his vision, if it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the meaning of this image, as UST does.
10:18 I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning! See Rev 12:7-12.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
