| Name | Tyler S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I've seen less than 10 "shooting stars" in my life, but this was easily the brightest and largest I've seen by a long shot. It also lasted much longer than any other I have seen. By my estimation, it crossed approximately 10" of the sky (from my viewpoint) |
