| Name | Cris S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I really think this thing hit the woods behind my house. While I was inside telling my wife about it, who didn't like me doing so at 12:30am, there was another green flash of light out the window. I think a couple pieces of whatever it was may have come down near our house. |
