| Name | Wendy B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I am not sure why I happened to open my eyes at that time, but the flash jolted me awake fast! The white light was brighter than anything I had ever seen before. At first I felt a bit of fear, not knowing what the light was, but was relieved to see a post on Facebook by Global News Edmonton that it was a meteor. Kind of exciting, actually. |
