| Name | Molly W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It seemed really close and low. I watched it for about 4 seconds. Enough time for me to say out loud, “Wow! What in the world is that?” It looked like a yellow tear shaped glowing ball with an orange flame on the leading edge, tapering on the top and bottom with a yellowish to white long tail. Almost looked like it fizzled out but it was behind trees at that point. Super cool! |
