| Name | Madilynn N |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving on the highway and the light freaked me out! I thought it was a firework but I've never seen a firework like that, so then I thought maybe a meteor or something? It was so weird, it was like a really bright line that flashed and then disappeared. Super cool! Super freaky. |
