Observer
Name Mike M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks This was the craziest thing I have ever seen. I was driving to work and I thought it was lightning outside my car window. I looked out and up and saw a large fireball flying across the sky. i was actually looking for a plane crash landing in front of me after as I couldn't explain what I had just saw. Wish I had a dash camera in my truck to eplain what I saw to people
