| Name | Barbara L |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I had never seen anything like this before. I happened to be looking out to observe the position of Jupiter when I noticed the bright light, where there hadn't been a star observed before. As it appeared to be getting closer, I stepped outside and watched as it traveled from the south to the north just above the tree line. |
