| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was such an incredible experience! It looked so bright, close, and large that I initially thought I was seeing a weird firework, until I noticed it was traveling horizontally and not exploding. Please note that the information I provided is to my best guess, but that I was driving so I'm not 100% confident of the time, colors, exact location of the sighting, etc. |
