| Name | Janine K |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | When I first saw it, I knew it was a meteor. It was so large and bright and hugged the earth as it went by. I kept thinking it would disappear in a split second, but it was visible for several seconds. It was very bright with light yellow, yellow and red. |
