| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | We were at drive in, sky was clear, most who attended saw it. It was above us and was bright enough to take attention away from the bright screen. It frightened my 9 yr old. It was VERY close. I've never seen one so close. Cannot believe I'm only one to report. |
