| Name | Timothy W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | When I first saw it, the color was red as it's crossing the sky, then as if a switch was pressed it was blue...then out of nowhere its direction changed like a sharp right angle, it turned green and was gone. All this was in a matter of 3-5 seconds. It was beautiful. My friends and I were at I-95 rest stop in a car league with our underglow on. It was so wonderful we were all joking saying it wanted to join us. It was literally a RGB meteor or something else. Fascinating. |
