| Name | Kristal A |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was on my way to work when I saw it. It looked huge, very close to the earth, and bright. It was very quick but it was enough to scare me. If it was a shooting star I've never seen anything like it. I'm just looking for answers as to what it could have been. |
