| Name | Matthew P |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was recording footage of Jupiter in the south, when I notice what I thought was lightning, except that it remained. I saw the shadow of my telescope and mount in the grass. I turned around to look, unsure of what it was for a few seconds, I thought that it was landing lights from a very low aircraft pointed directly at me, but then noticed it moving north at a fast speed, and shedding material. |
