| Name | Cindy S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I thought I was looking a helicopter with a search light on it, then i realized it was moving to quickly. When it moved over head, that is when the white light disappeared and a streak of orange was left in the sky, then the embers fell towards the ground. I then thought maybe I should take cover in case debris fell to the ground that is how close the event seemed. |
