| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have NEVER seen a fireball neon green with a orange train! It was so big and bright it turned night into day! It scared me for a bit thinking it was going to crash over me. It was just awesome to have seen such a beautiful fireball. Also there was a lot of meteors tonight, but nothing like the neon green one. Wow, just WOW!! |
