| Name | Kathy C |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | We were driving east along the 401 and were at Trafalger Rd when we saw what looked like a falling star. It was like a ball of light falling from the sky, through the clouds. It was hard to tell how far way it was but it seemed to be really close. It was like a ball of fire but the colour was more intense. My husband described is looking like the end of a welder's torch. It kind of popped and disappeared for an instant and then reappeared for another instant, popped again and disappeared. There was a bit of a tail that was more flame-like. There was no smoke. |
