|---|---|
| Name | Gareth B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was just really strange and I knew immediately it wasn't a mere shooting star, or a plane, or something else, a meteor immediately came to mind - we had it for about 2 to 4 seconds and it was incredibly bright, straight trajectory, then it burned out and was gone. |
