| Name | Jonathan |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | My initial thought upon seeing this was that it was a firework shot off right next to the interstate, but with how bright it was, and the fact that it was coming toward the ground so quickly made me rethink. No way any firework could look like that. I was prepared to feel the ground shake from impact as it left my sight behind a hill. |
