| Name | George C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This was the most amazing thing I have seen, i have been looking at the stars for years have seen many salilites planets small shooting stars, nothing like this, I wish I had my dash cam it flew over the Truro area what looked like to me heading towards Halifax, Atlantic ocean. I was driving it came out of the tree line as i hit a small hill When it appeared it was a bright looking star then all of a sudden zipped for a half second looked green then you could tell it fragmented and had a long orange tail then hit the other woodline. I would like to know what it was. |
