I couldn't believe it.. I was going east on 40 to head home and as we approached Garner I happened to look up to the right ( passenger side of vehicle and high in the sky was this bright white light with a wide fan of a trail. I got my iPhone and took a photo. It was fantastic! If it doesn't have a name I would love to name it Gail after my mom.
