| Name | Jacob F |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I've never seen anything like what I saw tonight. I would not typically take the time to fill something like this out unless I felt it was necessary. I checked online immediately to see if anyone else saw the same thing. I've seen many "shooting stars" and meteor showers, but nothing like this. It moved slower than a shooting star and looked enormous. At first, I thought it was a plane crashing or a missile. |
