| Name | Scott T |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I saw the light travel from between the tall trees northwest of me and disappear over the houses to the southeast of my position. The sun had not set yet, so the sky was still bright but this object appeared much brighter - very white with color along the edges. At first I thought it might be a firework, but it was traveling across the sky with no vertical component and traveled much farther than any firework could travel. The object appeared to be large from my viewpoint - like a golf ball flying over my head maybe 10 or 15 yards above me. |
