| Observer | |

| Name | Candice W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was unlike anything I've ever observed. It was falling somewhat quickly on a diagonal. I first observed it above and to the right of the moon, I last observed it below and to the left of the moon. When I first observed it, it appeared to be entirely white with a smoke trail. After a few seconds, it appeared to be a cluster of red lights with a smoke trail. The entire experience lasted 10-15 seconds. |
