| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | 4 of us were chatting on a rooftop when I spotted the bright object approaching us. It did NOT look far away. We watched it disappear in the distance, leaving just some sparks. When approaching and passing us, it was a remarkable blue/green, looked the size of a basketball zooming horizontal across the sky. Fabulous experience! |
