| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was sitting in my car, my husband was at the driver window talking to me when i saw it, I said look look! And pointed and it lasted long enough for me to see it, point it out, him to hesitate before turning, then he saw it soaring, break apart then disappear. It also seemed to get brighter as it soared. |
