| Name | Ashley S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This is the first/largest notable event I have seen. I do wish I knew the correct terminology in order to give a better report of the event I would like to mention that the width of the object was at least a 1/4 inch wide. I measured precisly by extending my arm out and then using my fingers as a guide and comparing it to a ruler. |

| Color | Sadly, I could not differentiate the color that I felt that saw near the middle of the object. Roughly 3/4 of the object was white. With the inner section, we could possibly rule out dark blue or dark purple since it was near midnight my time and no moonl |
