| Name | Bernard S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving east on this stretch of highway in our Honda Odyssey. It appeared near the top edge of my windshield and went about 1/4 -1/3 the way down. I am 5’10” and had the seat movedabout 2/3rds back, in case that helps with angles somehow :) It was as bright as a firework but did not explode like one and trajectory and speed looked like a meteorite, about as bright as I’ve ever seen. |
