| Name | Jason O |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This resembled a shuttle or rocket launch at first, as well as a flare, the item pulsated a few quick times and after about 10 seconds or so became very dim (in comparison) but still brighter than a high altitude passenger jet. In comparison, it moved across the sky about as fast as a fighter jet would. No noise was heard - we left the doors open so to hear for at least 15 minutes after sighting. It lasted long enough for me to first witness it, call for my wife, and have her witness it as well for at least 10 seconds herself. |
