| Name | Matt P |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Fireball/object passed through the sky more slowly than any shooting star I've seen, it was also significantly larger and brighter. It had a bit of a tail, but one which appeared differently from any shooting star I've seen. I answered that I didn't hear any noises, but I was going for a run and had music playing through a clip-on speaker, so it's possible I just wasn't able to hear them. |
