| Name | Cecile H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I wish I could be more accurate about where I was and exactly what time I saw it. I was driving from Georgia to Alabama on interstate 20 and I saw a very large, very bright ball of light with a distinct tail falling quickly down at a slight angle Towards the horizon. I have never seen any thing like that before. It only appeared for a second or two. I was in the car, but I didn't here any sounds. I don't know exactly where I was, but I was bro ably about an hour from Birmingham traveling at 80 miles an hour. |
