| Name | Anthony S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | There were very few others driving on the road at the time. I would suggest reaching out to places in the Saginaw area to see if there is footage. I was traveling southbound on the bridge when I saw it and it looked very low and also looked like it was coming straight down. By far the coolest sighting I have seen. There is a video of another sighting in west Michigan on the same date/night and around the same time! Nasa says that it is apart of the Jupiter Comet family, if you can find the video of that meteor, it was extremely similar to that. It was also quite large in size, the video shows the meteor as a greenish color but the one that I saw was pretty much all white, the brightness is comparable to a iphone light for the camera. It was super cool |
