| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving at the time so all information is approximate; hopefully others can corroborate what I saw! At first I thought it was a plane heading to bradley international airport since it seemed to be moving in that direction, but the light disappeared after a brief time and it was clearly falling, faster than a plane would be moving. It was definitely too large to be a shooting star, in my opinion of course. |
