| Name | Alecis H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | We were outside already looking in the direction it came from. All the sudden it just appeared and went on for about 5 second total. Flying fireball that broke apart at the end that looked way to low to be a meteor or comet but not a plane or explosion. Like it just broke through the sky out of nowhere |
