| Observer | |

| Name | Amber H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | In the past when I was a kid, I remember seeing "shooting stars" that looked far away. This one appeared to be significantly closer, especially since I could see details such as lit pieces crumbling off. It just looked a lot bigger and slower than those "shooting stars" I'm use to seeing. |
