| Remarks | it was a very clear night. it appeared close and large. my husband was driving. we were heading north. it appeared on the right side of the car and it was long enough for me to hold my breath as I thought it was a plane crashing. My husband, who was driving, then saw it, even though it started out high in the sky, it came down at a very sharp angle. |
