| Name | Marietta |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Saw it as it was going between two mountains as we were driving on I70. Only lasted maybe a second. Very bright, silver slightly misshapen ball, almost looked like someone reflecting sunlight off a mirror. Had a whitish tail and some blue around the edges of the ball. Didn\'t see where it landed, if it did, since it went behind a mountain. |
