| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Driving North on RT 1 Princeton. Caught my attention as it crossed the drivers side window pillar. 1st thought it was low, fast airplane, however too fast for aircraft. Then though meteor, however, trajectory from left to right, continued in straight line as brightness fluctuated very little. While leaning forward to keep visual contact, lost sight due to tree line. Definitely not an aircraft or satellite. I believe this was an earth grazing meteor. |
