| Name | Jane C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was swimming and saw the flash when I turned my head and took a breath. Stopped swimming and looked more directly, but the flash trail was obscured in part by a tall palm tree. With those three markers (location in pool, elevation and the height of the canopy on that particular palm), it might be possible to have a more accurate estimate of the thing's location. Thought I was crazy until I heard it on the radio later! |
