| Name | Emma S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Myself and passenger both witnessed it while driving east on I-84 at 8:50pm. We were surprised and confused, as it was only sunset/dusk and we could not see any stars in the sky yet. The other witness thought they saw a “hooked tail” but I thought it travelled in a straight line. There may have been a flash at the end, not sure. It lasted approximately 3 seconds. |
