| Name | Koreena L |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was scared at first, thinking that whatever this was which was now falling out of the sky, would hit me, would explode- something. But I heard nothing at the end of it all as I drove past. I live close to where I saw it and once I'd gotten home, I saw a large plane flying over to the area where I'd witnessed it. I'm very curious now! |
