| Name | Bryan L |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | We just happened to look up and saw this. My first thought was that it was a fighter jet, then i realized it was moving much too fast and I thought it was some sort of rocket or missile. After it went behind the cloud and came out the other side fragmented, it first occurred to me that it may have been a meteor. |
