| Name | Rick S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It seemed to be falling very fast, from steep angle, coming from the s. side of eastbound I-64. crossing to the north side and rapidly descending below the horizon. There may have been some associated debris falling with it, since my first thought was "space junk?" |
