| Name | Guido S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was extremely impressed with the fact that it was noon, clear skies, very sunny, and I still was able to see it very clearly. It was big. At first it looked like a rocket or missile headed to the ground. I even thought it could be a plane falling, but it was too fast for that and I didn't hear any sounds afterwards. |
