| Name | Marc P |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I constantly see planes that are about to land at La Guardia airport, and at first I thought it was a plane because the brightness/apparent size was similar. But by the falling trajectory, the light trail and fragmentation it was obviously not a plane. |
