| Observer | |

| Name | Kayla C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving down 385 northbound, I was right at the intersection of roper mtn road and 385, getting off on the exit. I didn’t get to get a picture, but I feel like the traffic cameras might have been able to pick it up, based on the trajectory and the fact it was angled to where it looked to be directly over the interstate. |
