| Name | John K |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The object seemed to just appear suddenly, relatively high in the sky. I was facing north and it descended on a mild downward slope in an east to west direction and I lost sight of it because of trees and houses. Affter I lost sight of it a few seconds later we heard a boom - not loud, but definitely audible. |
