| Name | Michelle J |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I felt I need to say something for I am a school bus driver & I only told one other fellow driver about this because people tend to frown, well low & behold 2 other fellow drivers seen this & it was all our times were accurate & also it was in the same direction, so I believe we all witnessed the same one. This was truly an amazing experiance for us all, & made me feel so much better for I was not the only one who seen it... thankyou so much... I just hope there were more who seen this :) |
