Observer
Name Jack S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Yes moved from left to right considering location and the direction of rt. 59. The streak was very long and blueish greenish very fast but long which meant I was able to get a great look at it. Seen from inside my house while watching TV. One of the best ones I have ever seen and I've seen a fair amount often while boating at night on the fox river and living in this area for 25+ years. Location: North Barrington IL approx 9:20 p.m.
