| Name | Shawnee W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I had no idea what it was. I won't ever forget it. I have never seen anything like it, before or since. It was beautiful, but scary at the same time. Since it happened on New Year's Eve at almost midnight, my mind went in all different directions. And I do not drink, or do drugs, so I wasn't under the influence of anything. |
