| Name | Elisabeth D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It took me a second to realize what it was, because it was much larger than a normal shooting star- maybe a quarter the size of the moon, even- I thought it might even be an aircraft until I remembered footage from russia's meteor and realized that was what it was. |
