| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was the closest one I’ve ever seen, I drive cross country often and see a lot of shooting stars, most mentors I’ve seen have color to them, this was bright white and seemed so low, it was very fast and seemed like it was happening right over me and dropping down in front of me a little. It was sometime between 12-12:15 AM driving towards Graham from Chapel Hill on hwy 54. |
