| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I have trouble describing this, it was so quick and terrified me. I saw a bright light that moved across the sky in front of me. Not very high, it almost looked like a plane or shooting start but it was so, so bright so I knew it wasn't. Halfway across it developed a tail of almost sparks. After making the path the ball of light just vanished. |

| Remarks | It was a train of almost sparks. It was glowing an orangish, as if the light was on fire. As soon as the light disappeared it stayed for just a second or two longer and then vanished too. |
