| Observer | |

| Name | Stephanie H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen falling stars, I've seen satellites moving across the night sky, I've even seen a meteor shower before. And this was unlike anything I've seen before. It was bright, but did not light up the sky. It lasted for about 4 or 5 seconds. It had a light tail behind it which I could see breaking apart and burning up. It was amazing! One of the coolest things I've ever seen! |
