Observer
Name Jacqueline N
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was driving north on interstate 5, near Noble Drive, when I saw what looked like a falling star in the north eastern direction. It didn’t last long, 1-2 seconds. It looked like it was falling straight down toward earth, lower in the horizon. It fell down toward earth dimming out, then quickly lit up again before it disappeared.
