The verb in the incorrect tense is "crossed" in the sentence:

"Suddenly, they see a shooting star crossed the sky, which thrills the boys!"

It should be in the past tense to maintain consistency with the previous sentences:

"Suddenly, they saw a shooting star cross the sky, which thrilled the boys!"
