| Name | Elena M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving east and saw it streaking due east, so the angle was a bit weird, almost straight up and down, a little off to my left. It didn't last long enough to arc much. We get a lot of plane traffic, day and night, but the light was gone so quickly and didn't blink, so I know it wasn't a plane. Urban lights surprisingly didn't block it completely, so it was pretty bright. Wasn't expecting to see one at all with the light pollution, but there you have it. Could have been a satellite, I suppose. |
