| Name | Jodi P |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen meteors, but nothing like this. This was much larger than anything I have previously seen. Also, it was bright green. I have previously only seen white meteors. Don't know if it was a meteor or space junk. It was impressive nonetheless. It was in the southwest sky moving east to west. |
