| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Really large, really bright white ball of light with a long thick bright tail behind it. It was nothing like a thin streak of light shooting in the sky. It looked like it was really close to earth or would land miles away. The ball of light was so large that I could see some details in it. Never seen anything that large in the sky before, was pretty amazing. |
