| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Cheryl M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was very reminiscent of those movie scenes of a meteor just before it hits the earth. It was so bright, that I flinched at first, because I thought I was fixing to be hit by an on-coming car... then realized it wasn't a car. |
