| Name | Kit M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was AMAZING, and took me by surprise because I have seen many shooting stars, but this was big and close (as it seemed to my eye). It took my breathe away and I was outside with two friends, whom were facing me so they did not see it. I was tongue tied trying to explain it. I was out by pool, not inside as little icon indicates, I couldn't move it...AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME, I WILL NEVER FORGET HOW BEAUTIFUL IT WAS ON A CLEAR NIGHT! |
