| Observer | |

| Name | Danielle S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving north on 280 towards San Francisco when a streak of bright light caught my eye up and to my left. I initially just thought it was an unusually bright shooting star but then it seemed to explode in a white ball of light. Unfortunately, I couldn’t look too long since I was driving on a highway, but it was very very bright and distinct. Would love to know what I saw and if anyone else saw it too! |
