| Name | Laura J |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Over some fields to my left, I observed a basketball sized, round object falling directly downward. It fell for a few seconds, then disappeared. It seemed surrounded in flames. The inner flame was blue, the outer, reddish orange. Obviously, the flame was a bit larger behind the object. |
