| Name | SUSAN W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | My husband is an amateur astronomer who is an experienced observer. He also caught a glimpse of it and we both believed it went down below the horizon; however, we were on a hill that had a partially obscured view. Planes were in the area which had blinking lights, but this bright ball had no blinking lights. |
