| Observer | |

| Name | Quinn S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It looked like a large white star with no trail, and it promptly split into 2. One piece was relatively slow but faster than anything else in the sky, and not super fast like a shooting star. The other piece was a little faster than a high-altitude plane, and it was moving at a slightly different angle. It lasted a whole 3 seconds before they both disappeared. |
