| Name | Marc W |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | This was a lifetime event for me I use to have a telescope and have seen Jupiter and Hailey's comet through it. But this was a huge meteor and it had to have hit the earth, it was just to big in size to have burnt up much for as big as and as bright as it was. It was quite a ominous site to see.
