| Name | Kimber L |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was extremely excited. I am always looking at the stars and sky (mostly during the night) and have only ever seen an occasional "shooting star" - I am not even truly remarkable when it comes to identifying constellations, so ball all definitions, I am a complete novice. But this was amazing and something that I never expected to see and wasn't sure if it was a shooting star or a meteor until I searched on today and had noticed that others had seen the same object. |
