| Name | Robert-Anthony A |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I had happened to look up at the right time, I witnessed the sky light up and as the object appeared to be headed at a shallow descent. I was both awestruck and horrified at the same time. I waited a full five minutes without any further sightings, and luckily no earth shattering explosions. So I continued on with my night. |
