| Name | Dianna C |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving in my car with my daughter. It was coming from the left hand upper corner of my windshield and ended at bottom right. I drive a sedan if that helps. It was just so bright. The colors were amazing! The ball itself was blue/green iridescent with splashes of blue and purple. My daughter even said “It looks like it’s going to hit the ground”. I was a little nervous so I slowed down. Speed limit on that road where we were was only 35. I think I slowed to about 25. Wish I had a dash cam for this. Nonetheless it was a great experience. |
