| Name | Carissa M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | We were driving down the Florida turnpike out of Orlando, toward Tallahassee. Being that we are driving out of a big city on NYE, we were looking for fireworks. We saw some fireworks, and the large planet toward the West. Then all of a sudden we both saw this object, not going in a direction a stray firework could appear from. It was amazing!! |
