| Name | David B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I've seen shooting stars before, but none of them were as bright or lasted as long as this one. I could see it travel for about two seconds before erupting in fire, and then I couldn't see it anymore. It appeared as if it had a green trail, and the eruption was a reddish-orange. Easily one of the neatest things I've seen in the sky, and I hope I find out what it was. |
