| Name | Whitney K |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I have a photo of the trees and stars about 20 minutes before I saw the fireball that may have constellations to find the location. I was laying on a glider chair star gazing waiting for the campfire to burn out. So my angle was from laying down not standing. It was like right in front of my face. Coolest thing I’ve ever seen! |
