| Name | Elias G |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was much, much bigger than a falling star. Falling stars usually fizzle out very quickly and get smaller. This one started like a falling star, but got larger and larger, then it changed to a glowing orange color before I lost it behind some clouds. The largest sight I have ever seen. Like nothing ever before. |
