| Name | Catherine B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | As it was New Year’s Eve, I initially thought that it was a large, green firework that had been set off locally and had flew off its anticipated trajectory. Given its size, I was worried that it would cause damage, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have paid any attention |
