| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I have never seen anything like this before. My son was with me on this early morning. We were at a street light and couldn't believe our eyes. I looked into the local news for any reports, but nothing came up. Keep me posted. I'm very interested into knowing what we saw. I believe this had contact with earth. I had clear view of the object. It was unreal! |
