| Name | Jonathan S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It blew my mind that I could see something like this during the day (it was after sunset but the sky was still quite bright and no stars were visible), I love watching meteor showers but I've never in my life seen a shooting star so bright or that lasted for so long. Usually its just a blip, but in this case my friend and I had time to remark and exchange comments on it before it finally disappeared. Incredible. |
