| Name | Janelle S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Was very large and traveling fast, and lower on the horizon. We thought it was some type of craft/drone, but disappeared. We then thought maybe a shooting star, but it was too large and way too close to the horizon for that to make sense |
