| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I first saw it in the head-on position as a bright orange ball then it went dark, as if extinguished, then the trail and ball seen in the photo and video as it streaked across in front of us. It was slightly out over the Atlantic ocean, east of Hatteras Island. The crew of the ferry would have seen the same. |
