| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Ansley E |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Ignore the pictures with the person in Rawlins, I wasn't there, but my map wouldn't change that. I was 10ish minutes outside of Lander, between Lander and Rawlins junction. We were traveling down the highway, I happened to be looking out the window, and I saw it. It was really fast, I didn't bother pointing it out to anyone because it was gone faster then I could have. I checked the time, 6:44, but it was possibly happened a minute or two before I looked at the clock. I was looking north east when I saw it. It did look like it exploded, but it was far away, and I was in a noisy car, so I have no idea about any sound. I don't know if the angles I gave you were very good, but that's at least the gist of it. |
