| Name | Gabriel P |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was very beautiful but very brief. I've never seen something so colorful in the night sky before. As a 5'3" person, if I had stretched out my arm and measured the tail between my thumb and index finger, it would've been about 3" long from my perspective. |
