This report has been linked to the following event: Event 1558-2021
Observer
NameFawn L
Experience Level3/5
RemarksI was a passenger in the car when we saw it straight ahead, on the expressway, just before a curve - I tried to see any residual trails, but after turning, the direction I saw it was now at the side, and street lights made it difficult to see any streaks. I thought I noticed a short dark streaked cloud (if I held my arm straight, tilted my wrist at a right angle, and held out my index finger, it looked about as long as my finger - much shorter than the length the ball appeared in the sky, though, so I don’t know).
