| Name | Scott M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving home from school on the 22 freeway in Garden Grove , California. I was about to get off the freeway at valley view street when I saw a bright blue/white flash of light with orange sparks trailing off its tail. It flared up very bright and then went dark abruptly. It was very close, it seemed like it was maybe 250- 300 meters away and 30-50 meters off the ground. I assumed that it burned up but it seemed like it would've landed in my neighborhood. Definitely a great experience. Hope it didn't hit one of my neighbors because it seemed to burnout just tens of meters from the ground. |
