| Name | Randall W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I've seen many, many "shooting stars", and watched meteor showers for years. This was one of my rare sightings, and I thought sure it would have been seen and reported to the local TV station, but there was no record of it and they didn't seem to interested. To me it was a big deal, and my dog must have seen it to because she was barking like crazy. |
