| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I initially saw it out of the corner of my eye, at first I thought it was a plane as it appeared near the airport (see map) It definitely had an arc as it came down, brighter up front with a tail and there may have been some break off pieces but cannot be sure. |
