Reports Report 10176al (Event 10176-2025)

Observer
Name Deborah B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was driving on mass turnpike west bound towards Palmer mass, saw this high in the sky to my left , big bright light that shot at an angle down towards the ground , there was large amount of trees on the highway, so I only saw it till it got out of my visual field, so I don’t know if it burned out or what happened. This was so much bigger than small meteor showers that go left to right in the sky.
