| Name | Alex Z |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It caught my eye while reading in bed. It was mostly bright white with a long tail. Then it had some fiery orange bits at the end when it broke up. It broke into at least 2 pieces, but there was quite a bit of orange flickering at the end, so it could have been more. |
