| Name | Nicholas G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was relatively slow, at first I thought possibly an airplane because of the speed, but then it turned green and flared up and it was clearly a meteor of sorts. Much larger than any other meteor I had seen, maybe the diameter of 10 standard meteors across. |
