| Name | Cathy C |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | My gut reaction was this was a plane going down. As it fell out of view in horizon, last being visible to me at a distant treeline, I was anticipating a great burst of light and signs of an explosion. But nothing happened. I’ve seen shooting stars but this lasted longer and was discreetly visible to me the entire time from once noticed till disappeared behind treeline which was the horizon view for me at the time. I’ve never had an experience like it. |
