| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Michael L |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was traveling in a car, and it was clearly visible over the on coming traffic, the slowing cars in front of my, my dash lights, headlights and my phone...I know..not supposed to be looking at my phone while driving. I could see the reflection off my hood, and it appeared to be close. I initially thought it would be close enough to walk to the impact spot, but when I got wround the hill that was East of me, i realized that it probably landed a few miles away. Very cool. |
