| Name | Peter S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Traveling N on I55, the object streaked across the sky very quickly for 2-3 seconds, the trajectory looked like it was going to hit the ground but then the light from the object went out 10-20 degrees lower than from where it started. It was much larger than any other falling star/meteor than i've ever seen. Very cool! |
