| Name | Michael |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was the largest object falling out of the sky I have ever seen. I have seen my fair sharing of meteors / \'falling stars\', but this one dragged on for about 3-4 seconds before it disappeared. I live in an urban area full of lights during this time, and it just looked so nearby. It was the only one I saw that night |
