Name Connie M
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Driving uphill, Eastbound on GA Hwy 282 towards Ellijay, with limited field of vision due to trees on both roadsides, after dark with little to no ambient light. Passenger & I saw fast, bright burning object with a (comet-like) tail going left to right. (Local friends saw only a flash.) Beautiful!
