| Name | Jared M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | We assumed it was somthing related to the airport, but it was going the wrong direction. It was a hazy green glow, brighter on the leading edge, and had a tail. It looked similar to a fireball video we saw online, but much lower in altitude. |
