| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I have never seen a shooting star of this size, shape and color! About 3 times the size of normal shooting star, shaped like a polygon with straight edges, and a pure orange color like a burning match. The speed was slightly slower than a regular shooting star. |
