Observer
Name Stephen W
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Travelling Southbound on I95 (in Connecticut, this is due West), object descend rapidly from first sight at top of windshield to the horizon in approximately less than a second. It was orangish yellow in color with some flickering. If I had to guess, impact would be between New Haven and the NY State border. It seemed distant. Remarkably fast.
