| Name | Marie D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It felt tremendous to see something last that long and incredibly bright, and then to continue watching it seconds after realizing that you are watching something amazing felt like it was a very unique event and that you are still watching it, wow. I had no idea what I was looking at, my husband feared it was a bomb and said," oh shit". When the moment passed and we were still there we felt an adrenaline rush for 10 minutes after the event. |
