| Name | Janna K |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It didn't look like a meteor or shooting star, it was glinting silver, kind of glinting off and on as if the sun was being reflected off it. If a piece of metal space debris was flying across the sky I imagine this is how it would look. I saw it directly overhead and watched it until it disappeared beyond the roof of a house, total time about 3 seconds. |
