| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | IT WAS SO AMAZING TO SEE the largest thing i’ve ever seen like this! was most definitely not a “shooting star” and was even cooler that it’s direction was going toward the full moon! at a time where these shouldn’t even be able to be clearly seen! It saddened me that nobody else reported it so I just thought I would!! |
