| Name | Tony T |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving westbound on I-84 with my daughter at the time of the sighting. We only saw it as it entered our field of vision as permitted by the car's windshield. Quite impressive, though, especially the terminal flashes. We kept scanning the horizon as we drove to see if any evidence of fire, etc. was visible, but we saw nothing further. |
