| Name | Pierre F |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | it seemed to be very close, very bright, and remarkably slow. not like a streak of light, but a slow pass, had I my cell phone I would easily have had time to take a video. my first thought was of a shuttle crash, it looked like something from the movies - like something crashing or debris returning from close earth orbit - I could see it very clearly cross the sky |
