| Name | Garrett G |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The light went East to West toward the ocean. My location i was on the freeway driving north on the 5, and saw the light speed across the sky at a low altitude, much lower then any plane would fly. It flashed across the sky no longer then what i can see through my front glass window and all the sudden it disappeared. It was a white type of light, small in nature, nothing big. No trail left behind, just had me questioning what i just saw. I figured it was a shooting star or meteor but the fact it was so low, white and disappeared was different. |
