| Name | Rebecca H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It started as what looked like a shooting star arching across the sky, then there was a burst of orange sparks around the yellowish white light with a bright flash of green all around it. The green had light blue in it as well, and in front of the white spot turned orange. It went right in front of my field of vision a disappeared behind the tree line going in a downward angle like it was going to hit the ground. |
