| Remarks | It was amazing! First I thought it was a plane on fire, crashing as we were approaching BWI, although we could see planes there landing way off in the distance. It looked long and wide similar to a plane's wings, and it was wide parallel to the roadway. We were only able to see it for a few seconds because we were in an area of the Baltimore/Washington Pkwy. where it is wooded on both sides. We kept expecting to hear a crash as it appeared to be just above the roadway in front of us. We never heard any sound. The fiery color was a beautiful blue/green/turquoise. |
