| Name | Caitlin S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Lit up the entire sky for about 2-3 seconds. Everything around me was bathed in a light blue lie for the same amount of time. Took me by surprise as it came over me from behind, I was looking down and noticed everything was really bright around me, looked up and saw the fireball zoom past. Unlike anything I’ve ever seen! |
