| Name | Sarah R |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This was the most significant celestial event I have ever seen\, and is the largest thing I've ever seen move across the sky. I was panicked that we would hear a loud boom and that it would cause a lot of destruction. it looked to be at the height of a high-flying plane, but was moving too fast for that to be plausible. My next thought was that it was a missle or some weapon of mass destruction. It seems that it would be a miracle of it didn't hit the earth. |
