| Name | Joanne K |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving 70 mph towards what I saw, and it seemed to be a mere 100-200 feet above the road. It was still dark at the time (sun not up yet). The brightness started tiny then increased to the size of a pencil eraser held at arms length, then quickly faded. |
