| Name | Aaron K |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Times are estimated, and the brightest most beautiful "meteor" I've seen. It's tail lasted long enough for me to call my wifes attention to the sky, she was bent down, she stood up and could still see the tail in the sky, after the body had burnt out, for a few more seconds before it slowly faded away. |
