| Name | Steve I |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was nothing like the shooting stars meteor showers we have witnessed. At first we thought is was a huge firework that exploded but it made no sound and was brighter and more solid than a firework. This was witnessed by a group of 11 around a campfire. It was a first for all of us, even those who have seen meteor showers. It was large and appeared very close, much closer than any shooting star. |
