| Name | Suzie B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was moving very fast, heading towards the ground. A large, yellow/white ball with a blue hue and a long tail like a comet. I was driving so my "area" where it was spotted is not exact-it was off in the distance ahead of me towards the NE while traveling on Belmeade Dr in Charlotte. It appeared to be over towards Brookshire Blvd, but I'm not sure since it was in the sky. It was awesome! |
