| Name | Jose |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving on the 60 freeway west towards the 605 freeway, it was sometime around10:23 pm when i saw a quick streak of light in the sky going the same direction west, i wonder if other drivers saw it some cars seem to have slowed down but im not sure why. It looked more like a shooting star or meteor. I also thought what if it was a satelite , but my best bet is that it was a meteor, please email me if you find a answer to what i saw. |
