| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | At first I thought it was some sort of firework, but it didn’t follow the path of a firework. It travelled more horizontally. It also just appeared, flew by for a few seconds and then disappeared. I was traveling on the interstate with fairly rural areas on either side of the interstate. |
