| Name | Crystal R |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen many meteor showers and falling stars, but I have never seen anything as bright as this or as low as this. I almost had to look away because of the brightness. It looked like it was soaring across the sky, and it was flying so low that it looked like it could have landed right on my neighbor's roof. It also seemed to last much longer than anything else I've ever seen before. It was amazing! |
