| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I thought I was seeing something but then my dad saw it too! As an astrophysics student, I knew it was too bright to be a regular meteor so I did some research and it brought be here. I'm not sure if it's official, but it was definitely one of the coolest things i've seen in the sky |
