| Name | Benjamin J |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was very unusual in shape, I remember a round like feature that stayed unfragmented and travelled at a very unusual speed, that of something that may have fell from space. It was a bright blue almost cyan colored light and it passed through my whole field of vision before disappearing with a bright flash behind clouds and completely behind the southern skyline. It left no trails from what I saw. No sounds were heard but I was driving home so I could not hear exactly. |
