|---|---|
| Name | Chris G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Extraordinary experience, made greater because all street lighting in the neighbourhood had just gone out at 23:54, as part of local authority cost and energy-saving, thus making my walk home from the train station completely black until this fireball directly overhead! |
