|---|---|
| Name | Margot B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving north on the freeway, the bright flash startled me, I even braked thinking it was a plane crashing towards me. The trajectory was too rapid to be a plane or even a helicopter, but it was too bright and bluish to be a shooting star. It was much closer to the horizon than any shooting star I have ever observed. |
