| Name | Erik B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen shooting stars before but this was like nothing I have seen before, this happened at a near vertical angle, it looked so close but it happened so fast it was hard to mentally captured it all in. I was driving home from work when this occurred it was in my field of vision the whole time without having to look left or right, I don’t know why I looked up but I saw it come from the top of my field of vision in the car and then it passed down into the horizon. It seemed like more then a second but it happened so fast maybe it was only a second. I know the color of it exactly, look up lancing rod same exact color and type of brightness effect. This is what came to my mind after I saw it. |
