| Name | Caprice L |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I honestly thought it was 2 UFO's or helicopters dashing across the sky, but the red and white orbs were traveling too fast. When I followed it to the front of my house then it took on a comet-like appearance and was no longer 2 separate orbs |
