| Name | Anna W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Never seen anything like that before, clearly different than any other falling/shooting star or meteor event I've seen to this date. What was obvious was that this was significantly closer, I could tell it had breached the earth's atmosphere. |
