| Name | Barbara H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was sitting in my living room, and out the window that faces due North, I saw for about two seconds, a very bright yellow ball with a tail and it was headed right towards Lake Winnipesaukee. It didn't seem very high above the trees and was definitely going at a down angle. I thought at the time it might land in the lake. It was going faster than a plane. It was awesome! |
