| Name | Phillip H |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | My daughter first noticed it thinking it was the space station, but I noticed it was much brighter, lower altitude, much faster, and had a visible arc to its trajectory. In all my sky watching, I’ve never seen anything move or act like this. |
