Reports Report 1579g (Event 1579-2022)

Observer
Name Ken S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This was a huge bright white object traveling super fast straight line without any trail that disappeared from field of vision below a ridge. We were traveling on the 60 fwy sort of in a valley with low level of city light. This does not seem to correspond perfectly with the 7 sightings about 1/2 hour earlier in the NCAL/San Francisco area.
