| Name | Bob R |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This is the second one I've seen in about 3 weeks - never saw one before, never expected to see another one after the first. It was not even from the same direction as the first. Both times I wasn't looking for anything, just went out onto my balcony - just unbelievable! |
