| Name | Lauren B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It may have been visible longer but green my view it went down behind a mountain. It was pure, bright white, very fast. I'm familiar with the aircraft gong on and out of COS, the USAF academy and Ft Carson... this did not look like an aircraft. |
