| Name | Cathy H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |

|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I saw a light falling and shortly after I saw it, it looked as if it exploded in a bright flash of color. I don't recall if the color was blue and flashed white, or white and flashed blue. I believe I saw some yellow right at the begging of the flash, but I'm not certain. |
