| Observer | |

| Name | Anthony M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was amazed at how close it was, approximately only 200 feet from the 81. It appeared to be almost horizontal, approximately only 60 feet above ground when it terminated. It might have been approximately 100 feet above ground when I first noticed it. I'm a retired US Air Force officer, now serving with the US Army Corps of Engineers in Stuttgart, Germany. |
