| Name | William W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I am 63 years old and have lived on the east coast all my life. I have never seen quite this site and expect that I probably will not again in my lifetime. I actually rolled my window down as I was driving east/northeast on Parham Road, looking forward/sideways in case there was some type of crash. It did not look like an aircraft but it was so close looking that it crossed my mind. The most amazing thing was the ability to see the blue, the green, the sparkling looking burning reds and yellows. It just looked so unbelievably close. |
