| Name | Erik W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Observation time is an approximation, it was sometime between 3:30 am & 4 am. I viewed the object from a porch on the second story of our house. Due to the partial Moon and heavy cloud cover it was impossible to note any smoke or trail, but the object was a bright orange flaming ball of fire. It seemed to be so close I thought it should have crashed onto a neighboring road; Don Victor Dr. I was shocked I did not hear an explosion once it disappeared into the tree-line. |
