| Name | John K |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | My wife and I both happened to be on the Barnegat Public Beach, directly across the bay from Barnegat Light (the lighthouse) when we both saw it. I felt it wasn't too far east of us since I was able to see the smoke, but I'm not experienced enough to be sure. |
