Reports Report 6425av (Event 6425-2020)

Observer
Name Buen O
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was stopped at a traffic light in the car when this happened. There were about 2-3 street lamps around me so I was hesitant on what I saw but then the light that I saw was moving and then disappeared which confirmed to me that it wasn’t just a street light reflection of any sort. The speed is similar to a plane up in the sky but this light was much rounder and brighter.
