| Name | Aaron Z |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I've lived out on the country away from the light of the city before, and even then, this is the brightest light trail i've ever seen in the sky. I'm sitting in my apartment watching tv and just happened to be facing towards the window, lights on in my house, and this thing was brighter than any city lights from my window. |
