| Name | Michael K |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I've never seen anything like this. It was low on the horizon, appeared to have a long tail, and we observed it for up to 10 seconds before it flamed out in a flash. At first I thought it was a flare or firework, but it traveled at a constant speed and remained parallel to the horizon. My son and I corroborated our stories as we watched. |
