| Name | melissa s |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This was definitely what one would call a shooting star,except it was Orange in color. I was driving on interstate 95 northbound just outside Henrico county. It was bright enough to catch my eye and there were no cars that could of possibly been mistaken for a reflection of headlights in my window or mirror..no stars either,sky was pitch black. It was amazing to see. |
