| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was absolutely stunning. I have never seen anything like it and would not be surprised if I never see anything like it again. I thought it was a firework at first, it seemed so close and bright, and I saw it arc down in an orange flurry with a white trail behind it. It lasted about 3 seconds and it split into to before disappearing. |
