Observer
Name Colleen S
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks My husband and I were driving home from dinner and both saw it out of the front windshield of the car. I said ‘what’s that’ and he said’did you see that’ - I figured it must have hit the ground but he thinks it was up in the atmosphere. We both saw a lot of airplanes in the sky. We live close to Oxford, CT airport but the planes were high. We wonder if the people in those airplanes saw it.
