| Observer | |

| Name | Katie S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | As far as placement in the sky, since the event was only seconds in duration and I didn't know WHAT I was witnessing, I'm guessing on the altitude. The altitude from start to finish was almost the same to my untrained eyes. And it happened so fast that I really can't be sure about the altitude, plus I was in a car going through a 90 degree turn. |
