| Name | Daniel A |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was on the 10th floor of my apartment complex, and happened to have the blind open on my window. I noticed something out the corner of my eye, then turned to see the object. It was falling at an arc, as if its path was circular. The object seemed to be approx. the size of a basketball. The tail was probably about 6-8 ft. long. |
