| Name | Sharon |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was standing on my balcony that faces due south, facing right to Sky Harbor Airport. This comet or whatever it was went almost strait over my head thought it was slightly south , southwest arching, at amazing speed. Unfortunately there is a building that blocked my line of sight to watch it as long as I would have loved to. It was moving south. It was high up in the sky, I could tell it was a long way away but it just seemed like it was falling to earth, which I know was impossible. I've just never seen such a pure white light or the blue huge it gave off on the edges. The tail was like the letter C that wrapped around the ball but the tail had a slight fork to it. |

| Remarks | It all happened so quick. I've never seen anything like this in my life. It was an amazing pure white light like I've never seen before. The bright white light seemed like it was attached to a rock that shot across the sky so fast that the tail of it barely existed. It was sort of forked and had an amazing blue edge that seemed to hold the white light in. |
