| Name | Maxwell G |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Reporting four years later so the finer details should be taken with a grain of salt. However, I couldn't be more sure of the location, date & time (i took a snapchat of the lake & saved it seconds later) and at its peak it was bright enough to completely illuminate the formerly pitch-black path i was walking, and the boom was loud enough that i was stunned when my roommates downtown said they didnt hear it. |
