| Name | Joseph N |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It looked a bit like a large version of the kind of bottle rocket that illuminates it's path and ends in sparks and crackles. I didn't hear anything, but it looked a lot like that, scaled up. I was very lucky to spot this while driving, having it basically right in front of me fairly low on the horizon. It couldn't have been easier to notice. |
