| Name | Lindsay S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was extremely bright, flickering and the closer it got to the ground, the more it appeared like it was on fire. It disappeared behind a mountain so I can't tell it'd it went ask the way down, but I assume so. Coolest thing I've ever seen in the sky. |
