| Name | Ryan L |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was partly overcast Thursday night, but we (me and 2 of my kids) really enjoyed the brief flash of blueish light! I didn't know it was a meteor. My first thought was lightning, but I knew it wasn't lightning. My second thought was Superman. :) |
