| Name | Dakota D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | At first I thought the object was the moon, because it appeared in the same area of the sky, but when I looked where I last saw it just seconds later, it was gone. I checked the relative altitude of the moon as I turned onto the interstate ramp about ¾ mile away, and saw that the moon was much higher, almost straight above me. |
