| Name | Laurie B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | As I stood outside in the cool night air, I looked up to the left in the night sky. the Bright white Light was passing overhead and seemed like It was not very far in the sky above me. I watched it arc in its descent downward in an arc manner. It was the closet and coolest Bright white light i had ever seen. So Awesome to actualy see it so up close...I know it was probably higher than I think, But it was amazing to see it. a think line of black smoke trailed behind it.... |
