| Name | Salvador V |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It had a tail, like a comet. Not long but definitely a tail. Bright red. The tail disappeared and then it became more like a red/orange light, like a round bulb of light for a few seconds, and then it disappeared entirely. It was headed toward LAX airport. That’s why it caught my eyes because it wasn’t in the normal flight patterns, and it had that tail. |
