| Name | Thomas K |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | The time is nearly exact since I texted a friend immediately after seeing it because they may have seen it while driving to my location. The 3 colors (white green yellow) stood out since I've seen one or two colors before. It was almost directly in my view nearly the entire event. It happened at nearly 45 degrees off the horizon and seemingly traveled at a strap east to west angle. Stopping ataybe 25-30 degrees from the horizon. |
