| Observer | |

| Name | Cathy P |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Husband was with me, and he saw it too. He is an Air Force military veteran with a ton of experience. We thought a plane was crashing, or possibly an aerial flare. We called the Sheriff to report, but then heard others had seen it to, in another state. We wanted to go on record reporting it too. Amazing sight to see! |
