| Name | Pamela M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Sitting outside on my front porch, with neighbors, when this purple light approached. We have never seen anything like this before! The sky was hazy, so it appeared purple. It was VERY close as it approached, went over my neighbors house and into the marsh. We followed it to the side porch, before watching it disappear. Very difficult to tell how high it was, but we all felt as if we could have reached up and touched it!!! It came straight at us! |
