Remarks | in my car driving,caught sight of a bright light thought to be a star but was in our atmostphare shooting across the sky at a stright angle downward leaving a trail that glowed after. It was so cool never seen anything like it, called husband at home and told him to go outside and look at the moon because the glowing train could be seen beneath the moon. What an awesome sight to see. |
