| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The most incredible thing I've ever seen. It looked like a lazy well built firework with a red color low in the sky and then raced at such speeds I can't even fathom turning into the most beautiful greenish blue explosive white color that literally seemed to just explode with no sound. All of this happened in a 3-5 second window. A friend of mine was over and saw the same thing. |
