| Name | Bryan M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I first saw it while driving, but lost sight of it as I passed under the Hwy 540 overpass while heading south along Litchford Rd. Due to the bridge, I did not see whether it ended with an explosion or merely disappeared. I honestly can\'t recall if it was traveling downward towards the left or right of me, but I do know it was heading towards the ground at an approximate 45 degree angle. The sky was very clear and it caught my attention while I was focusing on the road in front of me. It was very bright and noticable. I wish I could provide a color, but unfortunately I am colorblind. It was a breathtaking experience none the less and my wife is very jealous of me! |
