|---|---|
| Name | Pat G |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was a lot brighter than the stars and the airplanes I see in that area. When I first looked up, it looked like a bright, shiny diamond in the sky. I am sure of the time because I was going to pick up my mom and was running late. |
