| Name | Morgana G |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving on the highway during a clear dark night, and it was flashed in the sky in the bottom right of my field of vision. It seemed either real close or real big, like right at the horizon. That patch of highway is maybe a couple of miles of vision. My eyes instinctually followed the sudden condensed intense fireball for maybe a full second, and then it disappeared behind trees, right at the horizon. It happened so quickly, I couldn’t reach my phone quick enough to film it but I did film my reaction after the event, noting the time and location. |
