| Name | Riki K |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | My husband and i both saw this while on our sailboat. The time might be slightly off. With the binoculars, I could see the object (round/oval/slightly irregular)- it was white, but not just one bright object. It looked like it wasn't smooth. It looked like it had dots on it (maybe like craters). |
