| Name | Lisa C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I've watched the sky since I was a child, this was the most amazing one I've seen. I happened to be watching planes following that direction preceding and following the fireball (including one enormous aircraft) so my husband and I saw its entirety, with a wide range view. Neither of us have ever seen one like it, it looked alarmingly close! |
