| Name | Steve M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving on the freeway M14 westbound about 1 mile before the M14 / N US23 split. The meteor came into my view from the top of my windshield and disappeared in the horizon. It was visible for only 1-2 seconds. Very dark outside at 4:15 am, the bright white light was about 3- 4 inches long in my field of view. There may have been 1 vehicle traveling behind me in the same direction and a couple of vehicles traveling in the opposite direction. Very quick streak of light traveling from top to horizon , in line with freeway (W M14) with a very slight angle (about 5:30 - 5:40). No sound audible over my radio volume. |
