| Name | Greg M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving NW on Bruce Rd 3 just prior to the bend, so the angle I report is from within the car. It looked like a fiery arrow, tip was white ball with red trailing corona. It lasted a second or two for me to draw my wife's attention, then I swear it disappeared for a split second then lasted another second. Maybe went behind a cloud? I've seen distant shooting stars but this felt VERY CLOSE, like it would end up in one of the farmer's fields and was extremely bright. Being in the car, I didn't hear any sounds. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me thus far! |
