Observer
NameJerry R
Experience Level3/5
RemarksI was driving northbound, very clear sky. The object looked about the size of a pencil erasure at arms length.. easily 100 times brighter and larger than even a bright meteor. I got my window down as fast as I could, but did not hear a shock wave. It did not fragment, or explode
