| Name | Julie B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was standing on a covered porch, south exposure, was facing south. The light came from behind my right shoulder, and moved from NE to SW. I did not see beginning, only what was visible once within my field of view. It seemed pretty close (altitude) considering what it was, and very, very fast. I live very near I-70 so I could not tell you if there was sound as there's always lots of sound here. There certainly was a long "tail" or trail of light. |
