| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The light was very bright, but it was behind a thin layer of clouds, so it's hard to judge brightness. The light travelled more or less in the same direction I was going. It was a bright flast and a streak and then just disappeared. It was bigger than any star or meteor I've seen, but hard to describe. Let's say Venus is the size of a pencil eraser, this was about the size of a quarter but more oval than round. |
