| Name | Chloe V |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I’ve seen shooting stars a few times while stargazing but I’ve never seen one quite so bright. I happened to just go on break from the pizza place I work at the perfect time and from how bright and colorful it was (the tail was brighter than what I’ve personally seen) and the amount of flashes and just how big it was compared to the stars I could see from the parking lot, I was kind of expecting to at least hear a noise associated with it. |

| Remarks | As quick as it came it looked like as it was flashing purple and then blue it was breaking apart. It was out of view (or just burned up I’m not the smartest) after the last flash. The tail of the light faded away quickly after the last flash. |
