| Name | Tom B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving south on SR9. It was about 2/3 the size of a football. It was at a very low altitude, maybe 30 ft, and it crossed the road right in front of me. I'd say it was only traveling about 40 - 50 mph. It was dark out, so I could not have seen a smoke trail. |
