| Name | Craig S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I know that the Perseid meteor shower is this week, so I'm guessing that it's part of that event, but I've never seen anything during a meteor shower that was so bright and large. I'm really interested to know whether or not this was a fireball! |
