| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It happened very fast. The locations I gave were approximate as I never thought to pull over and mark exactly where I was on route 40. It looks really bright white, a very neat experience! I've been checking the news all day for reports. I knew I could not possibly be the only person who saw it, it was so bright! |
