| Name | Debbie P |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was out looking to see if I could see the Aurora Borealis, and I looked up at a few bright stars to see if it was cloudy. I thought I saw a very small meteor, then I saw what looked like a bright flash high up, almost like a nova. It was cloudy, so I thought that I was just seeing stars being obscured by clouds. Then this fireball came shooting down. It was the biggest, brightest fireball I've ever seen. |
