| Observer | |

| Name | Zael D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It almost looked as if it was brightest twice during it's extremely brief sighting. It flashed bright as it appeared, slightly dimmed as it was giving off the shimmering/spark effect then flashed very bright again before disappearing. No sounds, no booms. I listened for several moments just in case. |
