| Name | Eric B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Was driving. Saw it offf to my left. Really caught my attention. At first I thought it was a strange reflection in the windshield, but I couldn't figure out what would have caused such a bright, moving, sudden light. And then it was gone in an instant. I thought about it for a little while, but had no clue I might have seen a meteor until I read about others who saw something similar. |
