| Name | Davis J |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The center of the artifact was very, very dark, black. I could literally see flames wicking out and around the artifact. It was like a large tear drop, moving very fast, but the flames were very bright. It appeared very low in altitude and the trajectory was from north west to south east with an impact that would appear to be at San Jose airport |
