| Name | Heather Y |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | We almost thought it was a firework but it was isolated and started spontaneously in the sky and burned brighter before shooting down at an angle and burning wider and out. No sounds, and the only one, looked so close to the horizon, so amazing! |
