| Name | Rhonda V |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving home from working in Silver City, heading towards Deming. I saw a very bright object in the sky that seemed very close to Earth. It flashed brighter as it got closer but then seemed to burn out. It was quite scary, considering how close it appeared |
