| Name | Dave |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Was looking for the Venus/Jupiter conjunction and noticed the big dipper. When I was looking at the big dipper, I saw a white ball streak across the sky for about 1.5 seconds. It looked bigger then the average "shooting star", maybe about twice the size of Venus. |
