| Name | Robin L |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was lying on my hammock, staring straight up when it appeared. It looked like a flare, moving across the sky in a lazy, wobbly way, almost in slow motion. It also seemed too close for comfort. I thought I could actually see a rock shape, followed by a flaming trail that was definitely different colors. It was cool, and definitely closer than a shooting star. |
