| Name | Dan H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen hundreds and hundreds of failing stars, this was unlike anything I've ever seen before. I really can't say it was a failing star, it did not Fall. It looked like venus, but suddenly got extremely bright for 2-3 seconds...dimmed out like a failing star would...then reappeared in the same exact spot....stayed in the same exact spot...then disappeared completely...really strange. |
