| Name | Laraine M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I wish I had gotten video, but was driving up the Merrit Parkway at the time. It was a very clear night with bright moonlight, but the Parkway is unlit and no traffic was around me, and it was straight ahead of me so I saw it very clearly. |
