Observer
Name Judy T
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I was driving my car 495 south and the direction of the object was south. Not sure if I put in the degrees correctly. It looked like it was over the state of Rhode Island from my view. Very bright. Biggest one I have ever seen. Thought it was a plane dropping straight out of the sky. It fizzled out while still in my view
