| Name | Wanless S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was admiring the alignment of Venus, the crescent moon, and Jupiter, when a bright white flash about the size of Jupiter, lasting less than a second, appeared halfway between the crescent moon and Jupiter. Probably not a fireball. Supernova? Quick reflection off from a satellite? Nonetheless it was very distinct! |
