| Name | Melanie D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | We were driving, and I saw it while I was driving. We don't have exact time or location - but it was north of Mt. Pleasant before Iowa City. I'm not sure how long it lasted, but it lasted long enough for me to spit out that my husband needed to look up. Then we both watched it for a few seconds. |
