| Name | Melissa R |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This thing did NOT come flying by. I was standing on the landing from the 1st set of steps leading to my front porch. I was already looking at the sky, I watched it as it suddenly and out of no where formed not far above my home. It formed in seconds, and appeared to spin in place, as I could see the flames or what ever it was radiating just from behind it (as when something spins) and then it shot across the sky maybe 100 feet and then just disappeared as though it had never even happened?! As it shot across the sky, it shot across so fast that there was a streak, but the streak disappeared along with the fireball (or what ever it was). |
