As a kid I thought I saw a UFO but in later years I concluded it was probably a falling star. On the police scanner 1974 or 1975 there were calls to Munjoy Hill for a UFO sighting. My grandfather, my father and my brother and I got in the car to go check out the scene. When we got there, there were a few police and a small crowd of people. Suddenly as I looked up at the sky I saw this white streak go from left to right and the entire line stayed there for maybe a second and a half before the back (left) part of the white line began to quickly disappear, erasing itself from left to right until it was gone. Would anybody describe that as a falling star?
No, meteorite.......
I’m sure it was swamp gas glowing in the reflected light from Jupiter
