| Name | Ty P |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | At first I thought it was a shooting star, but then I realized it just kept going. Because it was such a consistent streak across the sky, I thought I saw some kind of UFO. It was the most beautiful object I've ever seen in the sky. It went from the east end of the horizon to the west end of the horizon. I had to fully turn my body with it as it passed by me in the sky. |
