| Name | Remy M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Thought it was a regular shooting star but it was slower and then got even more brighter, then burned up and could see a streak of orange. Usually when I see a shooting star, by the time I point it out it is gone. I saw it and said Look, a shooting star! And both my kids had time to see it for about 3 seconds. |
