| Name | Cheryl O |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I couldn't decide whether it was an airplane crashing or a meteor. It looked like it was electrified, with jagged bright white light around it. It looked like a plane split in two. Like it was splitting into two. This was the biggest, slowest, closest meteor I've seen to date. Wild |
