| Name | Noriko Z |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This was the very first experience to see something called a shooting star or a fireball and unfortunately my husband was looking at and talking to me, so he didn't see it while we were taking a walk. I was just shocked. it wasn't like a twinkling fairytale-like thing, but it looked much bigger than I would think as a shooting star and it was really fast. I answered red as its color and it was like a flaming ball. As soon as we got back home, I searched to see if somebody in my town saw it but I didn't see anybody. Until now, I didn't know there'd be a place to report it. |
