| Name | Darya S |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I was surprised to see this as I am on the middle of Montreal and I was looking at the moon and saw this massive shooting star flash over the buildings down the street of where I was waiting at the stop light. I thought that was the most amazing shooting star I’ve seen, especially in the city and was wondering that it must have been more than a shooting star. I felt privileged to witness this at this exact moment. I almost wasn’t sure I actually witnessed it, because it was so odd but I know it happened. |
