Reports Report 2092ew (Event 2092-2013)

Observer
Name Louis P
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I saw it around 615 am while driving east along I-88...it was still pretty dark outside and I initially thought it a reflection of another car's headlights. I was approaching I-355 when I saw it. Pretty awesome...wonder if any remnants landed in the Midwest...no doubt that the Meteor Men will track it down
