| Name | Aidan L |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The time I provided was an estimate. It is almost certainly accurate within 20 minutes, but my family and I did not note that time as the event occurred. It was such an impressive event that we were certain it would be on the news in a matter of minutes, like the famous Russian meteor. |
