| Name | Ana G |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | “The sound was very loud. We were inside the RV and it shook. The noise was continuous, like a train passing nearby, but since it didn’t stop, we decided to go outside. Then we saw it moving away, clearly visible—a glowing ball surrounded by something like smoke and friction in the air.” |
