| Name | Ben H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving north along interstate 65 very late at night, on a long drive. I am not at all certain where I was on the map when I saw the fire ball, except that i was travelling north and that I was on the interstate south of Nashville. It was a relatively mountainous area. It also seemed very very close to ground when I saw it. There wasn't much traffic, but i am sure that plenty of other drivers saw the event. It was freaking scary and amazing and I've never seen anything like it at all. |
