| Name | Mahalia J |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | We spent atleast 15 minutes waiting to see whether it would continue and facing the complete opposite direction of the fireball we noticed a very visible satellite that seemed to be dancing in a circle with its reflection or another satellite. The kids said it looked like 3 satellites chasing each other. |

| Remarks | We were packing up our things from catfishing right on the right and right above my view of the above train tracks bridge I seen a huge flash of fire and immediately pointed it out and my family only seen the tail end of the flash, it went so fast like just a blink. And then as we were all staring up we seen a few small shooting stars but nothing compared to the fire ball, I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. |
