| Name | Tinker |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Was driving when the blue-green-yellow-orange-white (in that order from head to tail) light came from left FoV, traveled straight across the horizon, and vanished behind a building. It was absolutely breathtaking. I pulled over to watch/listen but didn\'t see or hear anything, waited about three minutes before continuing on the road. Very bright, very large, very low, and very fast moving. Glad I got to see it, even happier I wasn\'t the only one! |
