| Name | Lisa W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I’ve seen many shooting stars in my life but nothing like this before. It felt so close, the bright orange colour of it and the sheer speed and brightness. Also it felt incredibly close! Both my husband and I witnessed it and were blown away and felt like it was something truly special that we witnessed. |
