| Name | Amanda A |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I see shooting stars weekly, and this was not a shooting star! It was a huge glowing ball, shooting through the sky unlike anything I have ever witnessed. It was as large as the moon and as bright as the sun but faded out as quickly as I saw it sailing toward the horizon. I couldn't believe my eyes--truly amazing and a little frightening! |
