| Name | Claudia O |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen shootings starts before but never one like this. It was larger, brighter and it looked closer to me than a shooting start. But as soon as a looked up and saw it, a second later it was gone. Definitely not a firework though, too large of a light to be one. |
