| Discovery Notes | Our soil sample was taken approximately 4 centimeters deep. It was collected at 6:50 p.m. on August 25, 2013. The temperature was 87 degrees Fahrenheit with a relative humidity of 74%. The soil was very dry and the land was always in the sun. The grade was nearly flat because the soil was recently cleared and leveled. |
| Naming Notes | The name came from a mutual love for the movie Top Gun. |

| Plaque Notes | We observed pin-prick size to 2 millimeter sized plaques. The turbidity varied: we had some plaques that had clear centers and cloudy edges and some that were completely cloudy throughout. There was no apparent trend in the correlation with relation to size or ratio from plate to plate. |
