| Name | James K |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | My friend Jeremy saw it first. He was walking out to his car parked on the street and saw it and yelled, "Hey Jim come look at this light in the sky! What is that?" I then walked quickly from my gate to his location, which was about 30 feet and saw it. At first, I thought it was a comet because it was moving slowly. But then I noticed it fading and moving. I had it in view for about 7 seconds. He had it in view for about 7 seconds. He said when he first saw it the color was white, and it was as bright as the sun. |
