Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I do look at the planets as I travel to work in the AM. Yesterday I could see Saturn to my right and was thinking Mercury should be to my left and saw this light saying well there in Mercury and it just fell out of the sky. I said that my eyes must had been playing tricks on me until I heard that I was not the only one to see this light in the sky yesterday morning.
