| Name | Jennifer M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This was incredibly bright. It looked like it "went out" just above the water (Straights of Juan de Fuca). It caught the corner of my eye and traveled in a downward direction until it "went out". As it got lower, it looked as if "bright shooting stars" were coming off of the main bright center. Very Cool. |
