| Observer | |

| Name | Devon W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This was over a month ago - my partner and I saw it while on a long drive, so my estimate of precise location where we were and time of the sighting are only to the best of my recollection. I know we were near Long Beach, MS and not yet to Gulfport, MS, and I know it was later than 8pm but earlier than 10pm. My estimates of the trajectory and color are the same as I would have described them at the time of the sighting. |
