| Name | Jane P |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen shooting stars before that move very quickly and seemed thin/narrow. This was much wider with a well defined light-colored ball at the front and a long, grayish colored wide tail. The sky was very dark, no clouds, and no moonlight. The comet looking object was so clear! |
