| Name | John S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I've seen meteors before, but I've never seen one from this angle. It was like I was viewing it from behind. It didn't look like it was going to crash into Earth, but more like it was going to keep going around the Earth. There was a slight arc. |
