| Name | Crystal B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This was the most amazing astral experience of my life and either this was an irregularly close shooting star, or I actually caught a glimpse of a fireball. It was hard to tell my friend to look, because her back was turned to the view, because I was so speechless by this sight! |
