| Name | Mark W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This was a thrilling and unexpected experience. It was so bright I was amazed no-one else seemed to have seen it. I had the feeling that something broke up, dark, after it exploded - but I can't be sure. I am a former journalist turned schoolteacher - I am a reliable source! It was literally heading from West to East. |
