| Name | Lauriane Z |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was a very large shooting star, the kind you rarely see — rather slow, and it must have lasted around 3 seconds. The ball was large and orange, and the trail was very long. There was first a bright flash (like a typical shooting star), then it disappeared briefly and reappeared as a big glowing orange ball, much larger, with a long bright trail. |
