| Name | John S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Amazing, saw it while driving home from work. Never seen anything like it. Happened quick, freaked me out. Extremely bright white with a "burning/trailing" appearance as opposed to a solid orb. Looked like it was coming straight down from when it first appeared in my windshield field of view. Looked close, probably an illusion. Wow!!! |
