| Name | Elise M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I first thought it was odd that a plane would be orange, so I looked for the blinking red light, and no blue?? Then I thought it might be a meteor so I thought well, it's going to dissipate. Just then the glow softened, shrunk, and soon was gone. Less than a minute total I would guess. It was a few seconds more before I finally realized what I believe it is I witnessed. Amazing. |
