| Name | Melissa M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was so bright blue, it was glowing. It left a long trail behind it. I thought it was a shooting star at first and watched and waited for it to fade. It didn’t fade. I kept watching a few seconds, then I looked away since I was driving. I looked for it again and it was still glowing and shooting in a straight line across the sky. It was amazing. |
