Reports Report 302s (Event 302-2017)

Observer
Name Dave L
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks This by far was the most interesting thing I've witnessed in the sky. Driving northbound on I45 to work, in the N NE sky was 2.5s of dual-bright streaks in parallel with leaving long bright tails behind. I first thought it was a plane with it's two engines on fire. Just a cool thing to experience!
