| Name | Kyle G |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was the brightest rapidly moving object I've ever seen in the night sky in my life, including meteor showers and comets I've stargazed. It would have filled me with wonder had I not immediately worried it was an airplane from the military base on fire. It slightly faded and then came back powerful again. There is a theme park nearby, but in the exact opposite direction from where I was looking. There was no glass obscuring my view after I stuck my head out the (already open) window of my car. |
