| Name | Amanda L |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was sitting on the kemah boardwalk with my family when I witnessed the meteor and exclaimed out loud what I just saw, even though I was in a bit of disbelief about what it actually was, but nobody in my family saw it...I was the only one looking in that direction. They all thought I was going crazy until later when we saw the news! |
