Name | Sharla S |
Experience Level | 1/5 |
Remarks | My friend and I were driving, and both of us saw this! It was incredibly bright, quite large, and looked like a ball of fire. We drove over to where we thought it may have landed, thinking something might be on fire as a result of space debris, or some unknown event. It moved from upper right to lower left in the sky, and ended behind a tall building. |
