| Name | Brian M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | My friend witnessed the end of the phenomenon when it flashed behind the tree brightly. It was low enough to the horizon that first I thought it was going to hit the ground. It had a dark colored tail with three lights, horizontally, or was that the trail of the light because it was so bright and moving quickly it was tuff to tell. |
