| Name | Karen F |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Was sitting at the traffic light and for a second thought it was a light from a plane or helicopter, but seemed too bright. It seemed like it was falling straight down, slightly from right to left. Then I realized I may have just seen my first "falling star". Was glad to see that more people saw the same thing. |
