| Name | Bruce M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Object had a distinct solid round head, yellowish-white, and a straight tail that was a bit yellower with a hint of orange, and clearly vaporous, just a bit wavy, semitransparent and fading at the end. The entire object was about the size and shape of a kitchen match held at arm's length. I saw it from my front porch (facing north), when it was already at about 60° and watched it move south (straight toward me, or "up" from my perspective) about 15° more over 3-4 seconds until it went behind the porch roof. Ran out onto the front walk to look over the house but by this time it was completely behind the house and I couldn't see it any more. |
