Reports Report 4773b (Event 4773-2018)
| Observer | |

| Name | Christopher T |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It really looked like fireworks, but I was puzzled about the time (who'd shoot fireworks at 04:50?) and lack of a boom or other accompanying fireworks. I hope I'm not being a dummy and reporting something stupid, but if that was really a meteor that was very cool to see with my own eyes. |
