| Name | Alexis V |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | We have never seen anything like this before. It was descending fast, was lower than most planes when they go over, and was much brighter than anything else in the sky. We waited for an explosion of some sort, but never heard a noise after it went behind the trees. |
