| Name | Mary B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I live where I do see air traffic. This looked completely different. It was a sparkling, white ball with a fine trail, and it disappeared quickly. I actually thought it looked very close to my location, but having never seen anything like it before, I have no basis of comparison. |
