Reports Report 1565b (Event 1565-2013)

Observer
Name Kim T
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was running parallel to the 15 freeway. I was driving Southbound and it was in the same direction. I have an extended moonroof and could see it from above. It faded to nothing and seemed really low. Similar to the height of the mountain ranges in the area. About 4 to 5 other cars were in the area at that time.
