| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It passed right over us as we were driving from Greenwood SC toward Ninety Six SC on hwy 34. It was a light blue-ish to white color. It was round and extremely close to us. I thought it was a UFO, but my bf said no it was meteor. I thought we would have seen it crash if it were a meteor/astroid. But it was gone with no evidence of hitting the ground, lasting about 2 seconds only...then nothing. Gosh it seemed so close to us! Exciting for sure! We couldn't stop talking about what it could have been. I wished we had seen more than 2 seconds. |
