Observer
Name jerald c
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was actually talking to another trk drvr on the phone who is in Ill on i64 and we both said what the hell was that. 90miles due west of me, he saw the exact same thing I did and it blew both of our minds. Never saw anything like that before. I was kind of exciting and kind of scary. Makes me wonder what's happening in space that no one has told us about
