| Name | Corey R |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | On a family walk with my two kids me and my fiancé look up and see what we initially thought was a huge shooting star, though it left a trail, and the front shooting part leading the way was very bright and fragmented into several pieces as it escaped from my view because of obstruction from a big tree. Obviously excited I hurried to get the tree out of my obstruction but by the time i did it was gone |
