| Name | Alexander |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This was unlike any other meteor I have seen in that it had such a powerful effect on my body. Tears began to well in my eyes, my skin puckered into goosebumps, and sense of my bodily temperature quickly changed from hot to cold over and over again. Even at this moment about 15 minutes later I still feel stunned. |
