| Name | Autumn M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was very different than previous meteors I've seen because I could see the distinct colors and it was shaped like a tadpole with a tail about twice its length, rather than just a streak of light which I'm used to seeing during meteor showers. I saw it for about 2 or 3 seconds and then it disappeared suddenly, like a candle being extinguished. |
