Reports Report 3301py (Event 3301-2017)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Dries D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | To me, it looked like a fireworks rocket that passed me by approximately 100 meter. But firework rockets do make some noice and don't fly straight like an arrow. In my eyes, the object flew relatively slow. Hence the dying out fireworks rocket comparison. |
