| Name | Gavin K |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It just looked like a large(about the size of the moon in the sky, maybe a little smaller), bright yellow teardrop going really fast, kinda looked like a rocket exhaust, but with a very small (maybe 3 times it's length) smoke trail that quickly disappeared. I was driving when I saw it so I'm not super certain about the time, and I had my radio too high to hear anything, I think. But holy crap that was cool! I have never seen anything like this before. I was just driving home from school. If my boss hadn't changed my schedule, I never would have seen it! I wish I had a dashcam. |
