| Name | Charlene S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It lasted longer than i expected-enough time for me to get my daughter's attention so she looked up and saw it too. I was grateful it lasted that long because it was a cool experience to share with her. (We were driving up 83 heading north away from Timonium and to PA.) I can't believe no one else has reported seeing it so far because it wasn't late at night, it was very bright, and lasted quite a while. |
