Observer
Name Connor B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was driving down the street in my neighborhood with a broad view of the sky in front of me. I was focused on the road but the bright white streak of light caught my attention and I automatically shifted my eyes towards the streak of light! It lasted for about 2 seconds and then it disappeared. It was two of the most amazing seconds of my life!
