| Name | Beau N |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It appeared to be about the size of a small compact car. It was by far the closest thing I've seen; shooting stars,meteor showers, etc. It looked so close to the ground I thought it was going to hit. I was waiting for a noise but heard nothing. I was driving and lost visual behind some trees. |
