| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Wim L |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | About 5-8 points of light of various sizes in formation, several with long persistent trails (as if they'd all fragmented from one object before I saw them). Fairly bright, saw them as I was driving along a well lit city street. Disappeared before I could pull over and take a photo. |
