| Name | Zoie M |
| Experience Level | 5/5 |
| Remarks | This was unique in that I wouldn’t call the shape a ‘ball’. It appeared to be a ball, but as it fell closer to the earth, it seemed to be almost rectangular in shape and tumbling. I took screenshots of the video and you can see that a little more clearly. |
