| Name | Patrick S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have watched meteor showers casually for most of my childhood, and this was the most intense one I have ever seen, and probably ever will see. I didn't even catch it from the beginning, and I had time to call it out to my friend, who caught a few seconds of it. |
