| Name | Erin S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was freaky. It’s like it just appeared out of nowhere where. It didn’t necessarily come out from behind the tree line to my left, it just kind of appeared a good few feet from it and shot across the sky and disappeared behind the tree line to my right. After it went behind the tree line there was a bright flash of light at lasted maybe a second or two. I waited for a sound to follow because I thought that might’ve been it breaking through the sound barrier, but there was nothing. The sinking feeling I had in my gut after that still hasn’t went away. |
