| Name | Michelle H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | My son has a bachelors degree in astrophysics. I immediately called him after seeing it, because I was so excited, and to find out exactly what I had seen. I have seen shooting stars before, but never anything that large or that color. It was beautiful:) |
