| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I am guessing that it is a fireball. I've never seen anything like it. It was large, moving fast, with a long bright tail, moving in a southwesterly direction. It was a few different colors, but it looked like a uneven chunk of something that was on fire. I was driving and it lasted a few seconds. It disappeared from my view but I wondered if it hit anything. The highway is divided and there are trees and other cars/roads in the area below where it may have gone or burned out. |
