| Name | Evelyn J |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | At first I thought maybe it was a falling star but it looked too close to the earth and too red in color to be the usual falling star. Also, the redish color ball and firey streak seemed much longer than the streak produced by a falling star. Watching the trajectory, I expected it to land on earth. However, it reached a certain height, started to descend, and then it just seemed to disappear or explode (difficult to tell). |
