| Name | Robert H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Was an unexpected surprise. We live in a very populated suburb outside of DC near several major highways (with a lot of light and noise pollution). This was by far the brightest object I have ever seen like this. Given the clarity, size and orientation of the object (seemed really near) I was surprised I did not hear a “boom” |
