| Name | John Y |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I had my back turned while setting up a telescope and noticed a change in ambient light, turned and saw what I first thought was a green firework going East to West, almost level. Late report due to poor hotel Internet. Was able to survey my position in the morning and improve my estimates of elevation and azimuth. |
