| Name | kendell w |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I'm in the back seat driving, on my way to Michigan. and I'm the type of person who likes to look at starts and stuff like that. and I saw this shooting blue star, comet looking thing, shoot down with a trail behind it. I'm a firm believer in UFO's but it did also look like a comet/shooting star. it was unbelievable. but not the first time I've seen something like that |
