| Name | Jason C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Am outside a lot as a tobacco user.. I've witnessed quite a few as a result of being addicted to the use of smoking tobacco. But never have seen something with other colors. I'm unsure if it was able to touch ground.. I could stand outside on the porch in nearly the same spot. If I held a pencil out from my face, the size of it and almost perfect trajectory I could estimate with the erasers end. |

| Remarks | A bright streak of white light just as it was falling, before it had visible color. A streaking tail length about the size of my hand and wrist together if held out from my face. Size seemed bigger when other colors appeared and then noticed I witnessed something far closer than. It stopped glowing just before it went out of view behind the neighbors tree. My guess is if it didn't burn all the way up it was landing somewhere in a field or trees this side of the mountain afar. Also the colors I seen emitting from it was more visible on the sides of it. |
