| Name | Diane |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I noticed the change in the brightness of the sky before I saw the object which was blue/green in color with just a small yellow/white tail. It moved quickly from my right to my left and just disappeared as quickly as it appeared probably lasting a total of less than 10 seconds. I had no idea what it was, at first I thought it was a flare, but the color was not like any other flare I've seen. |
