| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was unbelievably big and beautiful. The full moon was right in front of me, and this ball appeared on the left side of the moon in my field of vision. It looked like it was about 1/6 the size of the moon, which is why I knew it wasn't just a regular shooting star... I'm sad thinking that it may just be space junk. |
