| Remarks | Brightly glowing. All locations and directions are approximate because it was out in the middle of nowhere. Looked like it was headed west of Wilmington, NC. Looking straight out of the windshield, it appeared left of center above midway of the windshield, moving left and down. Lost site of it because of trees that were relatively close to the highway. Appeared to be coming from a more easterly direction, headed north-northwest. |
