| Name | Laura G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Witnessed while driving my car southbound in the direction it appeared, it was all right in front of me. The initial entry point was obstructed by the roof of my car and then it quickly crossed into view for a long streak of brilliant white and a glowing tail. I am deaf, didnt have my hearing devices on at the time- no idea if there was any sounds at all. |
