| Name | Matt L |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was a rather impressive meteor. I know about astronomy and the universe, but have never seen a meteor in person before. It was definitely more than just the usual \"shooting star\". It was large and glowed with brilliant colors, yet only lasted about 3 to 4 seconds. |
