| Name | Sam B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was huge. I thought it was going to splash into the puget sound. It was incredibly bright, like I needed sunglasses from a black sky. Multiple flashes. Huge green meteor, a big green ball. Turned orange towards the end as the tail got smaller. The orange was more the glow around it. It scared me and made me take a step back. |
