| Name | Rielly S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | With 0 knowledge this looked like what I expect a meteor to look like. I’ve seen shooting stars, that wasn’t this. Truthfully thought it was a missil for a moment & was waiting for an explosion. So assumed lack of explosion must mean meteor? Big. Bright. Crazy. Never seen anything in it in my life. I am on a military base, but still have never seen anything like this |
