| Name | Jeffrey S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have never seen anything like this in my life. It was extremely bright, even though I was in a light polluted area on I-70 eastbound near Belle Vernon, PA. It was definitely an object entering the atmosphere... I can't remember if it is called a meteor or meteorite, etc from earth and space science class. I have seen countless "shooting stars", man-made satellites, etc....nothing ever this bright. |
