| Name | Madeleine B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | There were two in the same trajectory, one in the tail of the first, and they moved relatively slowly across my field of vision. I moved from under the porch to watch them until they went behind the house. They were VERY bright but started to fade right before I couldn’t see them anymore. Lasted about 6 seconds. |
