| Name | Artis L |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This wasn't planned I was just sitting outside enjoying the clear sky at night and then i saw this, it looked like a shooting star but 20 times as bright and colourful, it also looked like it was coming closer as it went down and became larger, it was significant, definitely the biggest flash ive ever seen in the sky. It was breathtaking. |
