| Name | Jodie R |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was much bigger and brighter than a shooting star, not white/blue, lasted longer, even if you blinked you could still see it. It was orange/yellow in color a wide tail, like a trail of fire almost behind it. Lasted about 20-30 seconds and was gone. I was driving so was unable to get any pictures/video. Area was dark, no lights around, sky was dark as well. |
