| Name | Lisa S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | We were driving - both of us saw it, it was very fast and HUGE, like a gigantic ball of fire with a long tail, but it was gone before I could take a picture, it looked like it was so close to us and that it was going to hit the ground. It happened so fast, like just a few seconds long and then it was gone like it never existed. |
