| Name | Jay F |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I know it seemed to be headed west. Something alerted me to the sky, possibly a sound, I looked up and for a brief second saw what I thought was a falling star, then a bright light. That was it. Thought I was seeing things. Wondered if it was a plane exploding. Cloudy evening. |
