| Name | Rebecca M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | At first I assumed it was a shooting star, but it was much larger than any other shooting star I have ever seen. It was very bright and the length of the 'star' and 'tail' was much longer than a shooting star. Also, the duration of the 'shooting star' lasted a lot longer than one as well, and it was followed by a tail of blue and green colors. It has been seen by multiple people on our street and it looks as though it's falling to the ground. It seems extremely close to earth as well, versus a shooting star seed extremely far away. |
