| Name | Stephanie R |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | My kids and I were driving home from a swim meet. We were heading South on Walter St, driving down a slight incline and heading towards Fallon Field. My 13 year old daughter was in the front seat with me. We both saw it at the same time. We were speechless as we watched it. Because of our position, it was like watching a movie at a drive-in theater. We just sat there watching through the windshield. Luckily, there was no traffic, because I was completely entranced. I'm not sure how I stayed on the road. Afterwards, my daughter and I just looked at each other and she asked: "Did you see that? That was the most amazing experience of my life! I can't wait to tell Ms VdG (her science teacher)." |
