| Name | Jennifer C |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I have never seen anything like that. It appeared almost directly in front of me, traveling extremely fast then to my left as I am driving- not too far it seemed above the tree line (approximate) it appeared to quickly get brighter and larger then suddenly disappeared out of sight. It was mostly blue in color until it got brighter and quickly vanished- at that time it appeared to be blue but also some white and yellow (as if extreme sunlight color). So hard to explain, but that was amazing to see. |
