| Name | Tina D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I'd never seen anything like it. The tail was wide and I saw a hint of red/orange, but the majority of it was a brilliant green/blue with a bright large ball. I was driving on that long stretch of interstate, headed south towards LA, with a clear perfect view of the night sky. |
