| Name | Robin S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It had a sharp angle from top right to bottom left. Was in a boat at the time, and my friend saw it, too. It seemed pretty close, but we didn't hear anything. It did not go over the horizon. Time is approximate. We quit fishing when sun went down and started back to the ramp. Could have been between 8:00 to 8:30 PM, but earlier is more likely. |
