| Name | Li C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I am sure it was not airplane or rocket because of my aviation knowledge. I know how an aircraft or rocket looks like in the sky, speed wise. I am not sure if I heard any sound because I was in the car. Very beautiful bright colors. I was impressed. |
