| Name | Alfred G |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | My wife said she saw another one a few moments after I told her. She was looking in the sky in the same place and saw an aeroplane light flashing in the night sky... As she was about to tell me that I had seen an aeroplane and that I was probably mistaken, she saw something similar to me. An almost slow streak of light sitting through the sky for a couple of seconds, bright white sand left a light train in the sky for a moment after. |
