| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | The sky was partly cloudy. The object was behind the clouds lighting them up, much like lightning does. There were two of these bright blue flashes behind the clouds, then the object (a bright, hot blue) streaked out of the clouds - moving from east to west, relative to my position. I was driving and could not track the object any longer due to oncoming traffic. |
