| Name | Barbara B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I am glad someone else saw this. A few minutes later I saw high in the sky what appeared to be a plane. (I know satellites, I watch the sky 3-5 times a week.) However, I did not see anything that looked like a plane at the front and it was going super fast horizontally. I wondered if it was some kind of missle. |
