| Name | Oveston C |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I Saw and heard the object and it seemed to pass no more than 200 yards away. As I was on top of schooley mountain, it appeared to be descending and it was going to strike earth. I was afraid and I was awaiting an explosion. As I was in the iPhone with a friend that night, I described what I saw and I had a difficult time sleeping because I thought there would be an explosion of some kind until my research into what I saw convinced me that this was all real. |
