| Name | Zach S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was like nothing I've ever seen. A shooting star is like a line across the sky, this was different and absolutely beautiful. I swear it looked a like a momentary bright blue flare! It was about 3 times the size of the larges star in the sky. |
