| Name | Anthony F |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The shape was similar to that of a peanut shell turned slightly sideways. It was about the size of a peanut shell held directly in front of your eye, no more than 6 inches away. I've never seen anything like this before. So big and bright, and looked so close to the ground. This happened around 5:00 while I was laying in bed. Unfortunately my eyes are really bad from spending way too much time on the PC, so I obviously wasn't wearing my contact lens or glasses -- not that I needed them to see this thing... |

| Color | Can't remember too well because I was laying in bed and turned around to look out my window after part of my room lit up. It happened so fast that it was hard to process. But I want to say a bit of purple and pink at the beginning, and then mostly shades |
