| Name | J C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Having driven long distances at night, I have seen (not including this one) only 2 that were bigger than the biggest star (sun not included) usually seen on a clear night. Both of them looked to be about the size of a full moon, and were fairly dim, like less than half the brightness of a full moon on a clear night. The one last night appeared to be both bigger and brighter than even a super moon. The one last night also had a much brighter and longer "tail" also. |
