| Name | Gavin F |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | while i have attempted to spot numerous astronomical events in my life, this was the most significant and thrilling I have ever experienced. It was brighter than anything ive seen that was not our sun. It was moving at such an incredible pace, and looked to be very close. I used to do asteroid hunting with photos from hubble, but am by no means an astronomer. |
