| Name | Kip S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I traveled this route 28 October and reported event 2019/5287, second trip, second report. This was so much larger looking, and the color! I felt like it was right in front of me, or at least over Bloomington, Illinois. It lasted long enough for me to wake my dozing family in the car |
