| Name | Michael M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I noticed this object in the sky while watching bats. I thought it was a plane, but as I watched it, it didnt seem right. It was slow and steady, but it was slowly going across the sky with a smokey feature and bright white to light yellow light. No sound. And suddenly a blurry light split off the back and created a tail as the main part kept going getting slightly brighter. Then a relative called my name and I lost track of it. |
