| Name | Melissa K |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I saw this with 5 friends (all of whom are scientists) in Myrtle Beach and we spent hours trying to convince ourselves that it wasn't a plane or a rocket. It was unbelievably bright and low in the horizon, especially considering how cloudy it was. |
