Observer
Name Joshua B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It was still daylight, stars were not yet visible. It appeared to be falling almost straight down and forward from where I was viewing as I drove into town. I took a picture of the sky immediately after as I’ve never seen anything like this during daylight.
