| Remarks | I was driving in a dark area a bit on the outside of town, and the object appeared in the front of my field of vision. Such an amazing sight; I’ve never seen anything like it! It was so thrilling that I immediately called my husband to tell him about it and then texted my cousin, who is an amateur, but knowledgeable, astronomer. |
