| Remarks | I had enough time to see it, think “that’s an odd plane moving very fast, wait is that a firework? Who would shoot a firework down? Is that a missile! Get scared put my hand to my heart and it disappeared. I concluded it must have been a meteor not a shooting star because it lasted so long. I was also driving on 95 north |
