| Name | Jessica A |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was able to see the bright light in the corner of my eye and turn to watch it descent till faded in the sky. It was quite large and bright, I thought there is no way that is a shooting star. I had long enough to think to myself as it descended, "What is that?" "A firework?" & "I should take my camera out" Im still in awe. |
