| Name | Bianca |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was in my car with my daughter parking at the grocery store. We both saw the light. It was about as big as my thumb nail when I fully extend my arm out and look at it from that distance. It had a hazy cast, but was a pretty bright light with a hint of green in the front end. It was too big to be a shooting star, and it went slightly down and diagonally it was gone before it reached the horizon. |
