Observer
Name Espie S
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Idk if it was a firework ie: a bottle rocket? Only saw it go downward Had a good tail on it. A few sparks here n there I think? Only saw it go downward at an almost straight downward angle Was with my friend Before this we also saw one blue fireball that flew more sideways (~5-10 degrees variation from first seeing it to not seeing it). Wondered if that one was a munition (years ago)
