| Name | Suzan B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This is the second we have seen and reported within six months. The first, seen in the eastern sky at 45 degrees, was longer, with a bright green to silver leading edge. I believe it was roughly the same \"pathway\" as what I more recently saw. |
