| Name | Lynn O |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was amazing!! I've seen many other "shooting stars" and meteor showers and even one other fireball, but this was definitely the largest I've seen. It was a clear, cloud-free night with lots of visible stars. I'm glad I went out at that time! |
