| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jen C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | While driving at 70mph, it was bright enough to catch my eye and make me brake. It seemed to get larger and brighter before it just disappeared, and it seemed very low in altitude. There was a trail which I think disappeared, but I'm not sure since I was driving. |
