| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was an incredible experience. I saw a foggy, glowing ball in the sky, coming what seemed like north east in the sky, toward the earth. A tail developed, the fog around it faded, the ball looked brighter, then the ball burst into a ring of glowing particles, and the entire thing continued through the sky as it lost its glow slowly. |
