| Name | Matt W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Never seen anything like it. I’ve seen many shooting stars, but this was extraordinary in my lifetime, I felt a warm sun-audible vibration whoosh sound and the hair stood up on my neck. I wasn’t wearing my glasses so it kinda looked like a rocket to me. After it flamed out, I saw a dull flicker of light that slightly lit up the clouds. No boom or rumble so I’m hoping it was pure enjoyment. |
