| Name | Bambi O |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | As it appeared in my sight out of no where I thought it was a reflection from a car somewhere around me then realized it was something flying across the sky the front was a shape of, I say , a rocket (rounded) and behind was the fabulous bright colorful back almost like a space ship ( stubby cartoon one ) with no smoke. It seemed to slow down in one spot in front of me for a second then continue. Strange I thought. Add blue to colors. I can still see it and drew a picture of it. Wow!!! |
