| Name | Robin F |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen meteor showers/shooting stars before, but this was different than anything I've ever seen. It looked so close to us, and was bigger and much brighter than any one I've seen before. It also seemed to move more slowly than some shooting stars. |
