| Name | Ross N |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was by far the biggest object outside of the sun or moon I've ever seen in the night sky. Clearly not a plane, planet, shooting star or satellite. We were at a HS football game, I turned to say something to my wife and daughter and we all saw it. Several other people at the game saw it as well. Looked like a golden-red flare streaming down and disappeared behind trees, but no sound what-so-ever which I thought was odd. |
