| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This was the largest, brightest shooting star I have ever seen. Quite large in comparison with others I have seen and quite green, with a trail behind it. I have probably only seen 5 or 6 of them in my lifetime and this was the biggest, brightest and lasted the longest. |
