| Name | Lisa B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It looked like a perfectly round ball that was blackish brown and had a reddish, yellowish, orange frame around it with a short pointed flaming red tail. It was in the northwest sky, and seemed to be pointing straight down towards the earth as it traveled. It was so big it seemed that it could have landed close to where I was. It was a very special sight! |
