| Name | Hannah W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Very cool to see!! First time ever. I’ve seen shooting stars plenty of times, but this was bigger, brighter/closer? And the size was the most noticeable difference. I thought it was a plane at first, but moved too quickly and then was gone. Plus the tail behind was something I’ve never seen before. |
