| Name | Chelsea S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | At first I thought I saw aliens or something, it was so surreal, and so close, yet far away at the same time (just like the booms I heard afterwards) - best experience of my life and I cannot believe my husband (who was standing two feet away) did not see it! I wish I can gotten a video of it, or at least a picture!!! |
