| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I couldn't believe how bright and bold the object was. It didn't look real. Then, living outside of DC, I was worried something had been shot down. But I didn't hear anything afterward and immediately turned on the 11 p.m. news to see if anything had happened. But nothing was reported. One of my best friends is an astrophysicist, so I'm always very excited to learn more about space. |
