| Name | Zahra M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I know it’s not a shooting star because I have seen many in my life but this was the brightest, most mesmerising experience. It has a glowing, orange trail and lasted only a couple of seconds. It flew across the horizon from right to left, with a large trajectory, giving me reason to believe that it was probably quite close to the earth. I am pretty sure it was a fireball although I’ve never seen one before. |
