| Name | Linda S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was beautiful. Reminded me of a shooting star that you would see at night, only this had a wider trail and the trail did not disappear quite as quickly as shooting stars usually do at night. The glowing white made me wonder if it was metalic--like a piece of a plane. Nothing seemed to go down to the ground. It was an amazing sight, and I wondered who I should call/contact about it. Since I was driving I may not have been aware of noise, and also had to continue driving safely. It really caught my eye. |
