Reports Report 2925cz (Event 2925-2017)

Observer
Name Colette R
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It was a very clear dark night on a rural road with no light pollution (from homes). I was driving so I was in motion. The light was like a long streamer or tail of light and lasted long enough for me to say Wowwwww and keep watching. There was a clearing on the side of the road when I first saw it. Then the road became tree lined and my view was obstructed. I know it kept going longer if only I could have kept tracking it. It was low to the horizon and just to my left and in the upper section of the car windshield. Never saw anything like this!
