| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Bruce B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I might have thought this was a firework, except there was only 1 streak and it was traveling East to West, not losing much altitude before it disappeared. We were driving on the highway with radio on and windows closed, so we would not have heard any sounds if there were any. Both front seat occupants saw the event. |
