| Name | Margaret B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | We were in a car on the interstate in an unfamiliar area when my husband and I both saw it to our right. We both thought it was a shooting star, except it was too low and too big. That’s when I googled if anyone else saw something like it, and came across this page. I did my best to show where we were, but again, it was after 2 a.m. in an unfamiliar area, but were definitely on I-78 north in Easton, Pennsylvania, about to cross the line into NJ. |
