Observer
Name Sherry
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks We were traveling on the interstate when we saw this occur. It looked as if it were going to crash but it became out of our site. It was an amazing site to see; something never of us has ever seen before. It looked so close to us but probably at least 1/2 to 1 mile away if not further. Truly remarkable to visualize.
