| Name | Crystal B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving and it is very dark on that section of road. I caught it out of my peripheral vision. Being that I was driving, I couldn't watch to see if it broke apart. However in my line of sight it seemed to just fly off very fast and just disappear from my sight. The green color was the front "ball", and the orange color was like a tail. I have never seen anything like it. I live in a rural area and see the stars and shooting stars often. This was not a shooting star. It was amazing. |
