| Name | Evan B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The object was initially orange and dim and luminosity didn't increase rapidly at first. It was traveling incredibly fast, definitely not falling from orbit. Its luminosity rapidly grew while green color appeared and became more prominent, eventually dominating the orange color. The colors didn't appear to mix; green and orange were very clearly visible simultaneously without a smooth transition between. The brightness exponentially increased to a maximum that may have included a flash at the end, I'm not sure. |
