Reports Report 3032fd (Event 3032-2014)

| Name | Delyse J |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The most striking phenomenon I have ever witnessed. Driving west on I-10 between Junction and Sonora - no light other than headlights. Suddenly, the huge expanse of sky through my windshield changes from black to indigo and the landscape is visible. I look to my left out the driver's side window and 7-9" X 3/4" orange, blue and white, liquid metal meteor streaks across the sky and disappears. Left to right and seemingly heading SW. I believe the window tint filtered the brightest light and allowed me to see the shape more clearly and the colors more vividly. It was huge. So far, I have found nothing online that matches it closely. I'm using the window as a reference for size and will check with another passenger on the details for accuracy. |
