Name linda w
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was driving from Manchester airport after a flight delay... heading due East I believe on rte 101. estimated it may have been over Raymond NH because later saw exits for Raymond. One other car on road tapped brakes when seen. At first I thought it was a plane falling out of sky. very brilliant but then figured it was a meteor. "may" have smelled sulfur later or just imagining it.
