| Name | Patricia D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I wasn’t looking up at the sky in particular, I just happened to see it while taking my dog outside. The flash of light caught my eye because it was so bright, and I was astonished to see this large round neon green object with trails of red racing across the sky in a downward arc. It was so surprising that I was stunned. Out of this world experience! |
