| Name | Patricia B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving down Route 495 South at approximately 6:16am, the moon was still lit over my left shoulder. At a location between Exit 32 (Westford, Ma) and Exit 31 (Littleton, Ma) I saw a beautiful bright white ball streak across the sky in a curved manner, directly in front of me. As it streaked across the sky in an arc from left to right, it left a curved "tail" then just before it reached the horizon, it faded away silently (I did not have the radio on, but my car windows were closed, so it may have made a sound, not sure). I did not need to turn my head at all to watch it, it all happened directly in front of me as if I were watching a movie screen. |
