| Name | Joshua B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was working a shift along side my partner, Tristan Robinson. Both employees of the state of NC. Both of us had a full visual experience from start to finish. Began as a star, then got as bright as someone shining a light. Then faded off in an odd, distinctively diminishing fashion. No photo or video. However both of us could sketch what was observed. |
