| Name | Shari W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Several neighbors saw it. It was so low and large, I thought it could be a drone that was crash landing into the neighborhood, but the glow and tail were very bright and unusual like a large metal garbage can on green fire. No neighbor has admitted to crashing a drone at 10:15pm. |
