Experience Level
3/5
Remarks
This was something I have never before. I was on my way to work cresting a hill and all of a sudden this bright fast white/blueish light came from the west crossed in front of my vehicle and "burned" out heading east. Only lasting a second or 2. I called my husband immediately as I was in disbelief of what I had seen. It wasn't off in the horizon though. It appeared to be right in front of me!
