| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I thought it was a firework at first, but fireworks dong move like that. It was as bright as one. I was driving NG home when I saw it go overhead in front of me. It moved in that typical “shooting star” pattern. I’ve never seen anything like it and can only believe that it was a shooting star. It left as quickly as it came, behind a tree line. |
