| Name | Danielle T |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I’ve seen shooting stars before, and this was something I’ve never seen. It was a giant almost ball that lit up bright red and orange and only lasted about two seconds then disappeared. I was driving and heading southbound on the highway and it came above me and heading in that same direction, southbound and slight more East. |
