| Name | Misty D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was looking out over the Atlantic Ocean, over top the Yaupon Pier, and I saw a light going from about midpoint in the sky going in a fast, direct streak into the ocean. It was so far out that I never saw a landing or splash. It was there and then gone. I actually had to consider if it was a plane or "shooting star", but I had not seen a plane before it and it streaked way too fast for it to be a plane. |
