| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving in my car on the highway when I saw a bright yellowish ball of light with a short train fall from the sky a few miles away from me. It lasted less than a second and afterward I thought maybe my eyes had been playing tricks on me. I thought it was too small to be a plane crashing, and the light wasn’t right to be an aircraft, but it was closer than any shooting star I’ve seen - whatever it was certainly “landed” nearby! |
