Observer
NameDiane K
Experience Level2/5
RemarksLying in bed awake but eyes closed- the bright white light like a car headlight thru the window made me sit up and see this light for a couple of seconds before it “fell” out of view. It seemed too large and close to be a shooting star. Was this a fireball? Almost thought it could be a plane going down, but too bright and white.
