| Name | Todd K |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I’ve stayed up for meteor showers on many occasions, and typically seen very short (less than a second) white streaks. I have never seen anything like this — it was bright orange with a tail, moving super fast, lasted maybe two seconds, and then winked out midair. I don’t know if it was a meteor but it was very exciting to see! |
