|---|---|
| Name | Andrew J |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was in a car, driving when I saw it, through a break in the trees. Because of the car, I may not have heard any sounds from the object. I could not tell how far away the object was - I thought it was a shooting star, but it was brighter and larger than other shooting stars I remember seeing. |
