| Name | Brett F |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was the slowest, largest, brightest event I've ever seen. There was a bright yellow pulse at midway travel but it continued as it started and went below the tree line. I did not see it extinguish. The reported time of event has an accuracy of +/- 3 minutes because I didn't think to report it until about 5 minutes later. |
