| Remarks | I first saw it when it was bright and saw a train when coming down, I was on the get, 405 south going at 65 mph, we all hit the breaks because the light went off and on again. Thought I was going to see it hit the ground but it dissolved right before hitting ground. Maybe a few miles up. But, it looked so close!! Never seen anything like it before. It was incredible!!! Started from my left eyesight down going right... it was 2 seconds of WOW!! Couldn't believe what I was seeing.. |
