| Name | Cheryl T |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I figured this was a fiery plane crashing into the Olympic Mts or a fireball. Since I did not hear news of a plane crash, I figure this was a fireball. It really did remind me of the video I saw on the news of the meteor crash in Russia, I think it was. |

| Remarks | A moment behind the triangular shaped fireball, the trail glowed. It then looked like plane exhaust, a smokey trail glowing in the last moment's of sunset. It caught the light perfectly and stayed for at least ten minutes. In time, it fluffed larger but kept its line, just like a plane trail does. |
