| Name | Lorna B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I know it was not a falling star as I have seen numerous ones in my lifetime. This was interestingly different, I was looking in the horizon after it went out of view to see if there were any signs of Impact but didn't see anything. At first I thought it was a low flying get possibly going to crash because of the fireball trailing, it was fast moving. To know it was a meteorite is exciting as this is my first-time seeing one. |
