| Remarks | I only saw it for a few seconds while driving but I watched it go dark, it did not disappear behind anything just lights out two maybe three seconds in after I noticed it and I've never seen anything as amazing as that please keep me updated if you have any more information on it I would love to know what turns up, and I know it's a little late but I'm buy a dash cam for future possible sightings |
