| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I'm not sure I filled out this form correctly. Basically, I was driving West on the expressway in SE Michigan when I saw, ahead of me and to my right (so, to the southwest) what looked like the flashing light on top of a cell phone tower; except it wasn't flashing, and it fell from the sky. It very slightly went from my right to left, but most fell downwards. It disappeared behind the treetops within seconds. I wondered what it was but didn't think much of it until I saw reports of the fireball in Pennsylvania. It all fit so I decided to lodge a potential sighting. |
