Name | Ryan M |
Experience Level | 1/5 |
Remarks | At first I thought it was a firework on my drive northbound on I-55. As I viewed the object it was burning white/bluish, hotter than it normally would be for a firework. Also, I realized that where I was, just outside of Braidwood, there was no residential or any other residences close enough to shoot off a firework. It looked as it came from way up in the sky and then completely burned up once it got just past the tree line. |
