Name | Lori K |
Experience Level | 1/5 |
Remarks | On September 8 @ 9:28 pm I was driving on I-66 going west when I saw a bright blue tear shaped object, with a white to yellow core, blaze down briefly from mid horizon to the mountain/hillside on the left/south side of Broad Run in Fauquier County. I've never seen anything like it (other than Haley's comet which was virtually stationery, far distant and white with a long tail in comparison). |
