| Name | Chad B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was in my car in my neighborhood driving north and it appeared to my left, angling down from the west toward the northwest. From my position in Schoolcraft Township, Michigan, it looked to me like it was headed for maybe Texas Corners, MI, but I now know it was much farther away than that. This was very thrilling for me! |
