| Name | Justin M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This was strange to us (my wife was with me and saw it as well) because it appeared against a mountain which is 1,600 feet high, and appeared slightly below the top of the mountain. So we know that we saw it horizontally, basically just below the top of mountain. Also it was strange how bright it was, even in broad daylight. |
