| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have never seen anything like this, at first I just thought I saw a shooting star that caught my attention, but then it lasted longer and was so much bigger and brighter. I thought for a moment it could be a plane on fire, but then realized it was going way too fast and across the sky not down. Definately something like you see in the movies. Amazing. |
