| Name | David S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was near the Eastern border of Laporte County, Indiana, that time is Central Daylight Saving Time. Eastern Daylight Savings Time is at Time Zone boundary located behind me at 9000 East US 20 in St. Joe County, Indiana. I was driving West on US 20 in my 2005 GMC Yukon after getting gas when I observed it. Surely the duration of observation would have been longer but it was so low that trees obstructed my view. I did not see any tail. By far the largest, lowest, flattest tracking I've ever observed. |
