| Observer | |

| Name | Tyler A |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | The direction option didn't have the selection for heading directly at you, I watched it initially start as a small light which I though was a plane but it was flickering and super vibrant, eventually getting super bright and big before vanishing all together |
