| Name | Mary W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I just watched the comet recently and it was similar in that they both had a tail but the comet was much slower and this was way faster - made me think it was lower to me. It was also way bigger and way brighter. Trees were blocking the beginning and ending of my viewing. It was bigger, faster, and brighter compared to anything I've seen before. |
