| Name | Laura G |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | So cool!! The majority of the object was red, the front edge was blue and had a white covering and trail. Again, it split into two fairly equal sized objects and I no longer saw blue. It was quite large, probably ~100x bigger than a shooting star. Did anyone see this? |
