| Observer | |

| Name | Jay H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Looked up from my phone because I initially thought someone was pulling in the driveway at 1230am with their brights on. It didn't pass directly overhead, but my backyard and the deck I was sitting on were illuminated throughout the event. My first thought was honestly a flairgun, until I saw its direction and its speed. Absolutely incredible. |
