| Name | Ainsley M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | We honestly thought that this meteor might end the earth it was so large. I have never seen anything like this, except for in science fiction movies, and I doubt I will ever see anything like this again. There were 4 of us stargazing and we all shared this incredible experience. |
