| Name | Gaby A |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was on the 6th floor of an apartment building and saw it through a north facing window. I can usually see planes landing in the distance at LGA and I thought what I saw at first was a plane, because of the color and brightness, but it was not as low on the horizon as the planes. It also had a trail and appeared/disappeared quickly. |
