| Name | Gina S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | At the time reported, the start of the line began just near the foot of Orion. Then directed down at an approx 45° angle, almost as if the direction of the bow of Orion constellation was flipped. Visually it looked like the letter C in morse code, with the final dot having a halo or ring around it. |
