| Name | Tom L |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | With the three lights coming out of the west heading east, thought at first it was a plane from MCarran airport in trouble, as it got closer I thought it might blow up because of the smoke trails, spotted the third ball too far behind and knew it wasn't a plane, then lost sight of them behind other houses. |
