| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jerry R |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving northbound, very clear sky. The object looked about the size of a pencil erasure at arms length.. easily 100 times brighter and larger than even a bright meteor. I got my window down as fast as I could, but did not hear a shock wave. It did not fragment, or explode |
