| Name | Janice G |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I cant guarantee my pinpoint was exact, but I was on the highway between Zumbrota and Oronoco heading south towards Rochester. This thing was directly over the highway and looked like the distance away and size of an airplane with headlights on, but it was heading towards the right. (Straight across, not straight down) It lasted less than 5 seconds. It shattered to glowing pieces that disappeared right away. I was stunned and called someone immediately to relay what I saw. |

| Remarks | It appeared like an airplane with headlights on that came out of nowhere over the highway sky, (I noticed because it literally looked like an airplane appeared then turned to confetti) then like a shooting star for a second, then fell to pieces that disappeared like glittery bits another couple seconds. |
