| Name | Christopher A |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It looked about twice the size of jupiter or saturn (what ever "star/planet" thats brightest in the sky at night). Also it was amazing, but probbly cause I have never seen anything like it in my life. I waited for about 15-20 minutes to see if more came and saw a shooting star much further in the distance, but no others like this. |
