| Remarks | Topping the hill on Vermont St., my car was illuminated by a bright flash, as if it was lightening;knowing it was a completely starry night, I instantly looked to my right and saw the extremely bright, circular object glow for an instant more and disappear. I pulled over and waited to see if there were anymore...wondering if I had seen fireworks. But the magnitude of the flash and the size of the "ball" was not at all like a firework display; and there was no sound. I did not see a tail. I think it traveled right over me, going north. |
