| Name | Jonathan J |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It looked like a huge camera flash went off overhead, lighting up trees and the yard, just a bit less than lightning. It became orange at the very end. I've never heard a Sonic boom from a meteor before, but this was like a loud Thunder clap, and lasted for about 3-4 seconds. Amazing! |
