| Name | Haydee S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Last saw one like this in the early 1980's in Tarrytown, Westchester, left quite a memory. Like a ball of fire white center surrounded by red with a blue tinged tail streaking low and horizontally across the sky. Amazed and recognized what I was seeing right away - very distinct. |
