| Name | Ryan G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The initial boom, and flash of light was very distinct, and out of place. There were fireworks going off throughout the night, but this was a completely different situation - brightness was intense, the fragments indicated it was breaking up and there was a streak, trail behind it. Mostly blue, maybe hints of green. |
