| Name | Lauren D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was not a meteor and I almost mistook it for a plane until I gave it a second look and saw it had a tail, like a comet, but it went across the sky faster than a plane. The round part of it was glowing, including the front and around the object and throughout the tail. It looked just like a comet, but moved right across the sky. |
