| Name | Jessica W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was traveling straight up and down, going very fast. I thought it was plane on fire going nose first when I first saw. The right flames only last 2-3 seconds and then went dark, when it was not very high up in the sky. There was no fragmentation just a large climb of flames going straight up, also no trail. |
