| Name | Grace B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was an incredible sighting, I have NEVER seen something quite like it. The brightness, the size of the orb and the vividness of the trail -- about 2-3 months ago I saw a different type of 'shooting star' in the same location/horizon vantage ... so odd!!! |
