| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Primarily a satellite watcher, but never fail to witness a meteor or two, usually in form of mostly quick streaks, flairs, or ghosts... But, this occasion was spectacular, not as big as those that are headlined, but significant display that you'd remember and wished you'd captured on camera. |
