| Name | David B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was riding my bike when i saw this streaming light, and it was remarkable how my peripheral vision picked it up and I automatically turned to it without thinking. However, since I was riding a road bike and my head was facing the road, I think I saw mainly the end of the trail, because I wasn't looking skyward. |
