| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I never did see it move. It was like it was just frozen in the sky. As I got at just the right angle behind the tail, it appeared to be a blue beam of light, like a spotlight. And then I met oncoming traffic, and lost sight of it. It looked like it was very close, right above the field next to the highway. |
