| Remarks | Looked almost like an aerial flare (military type), there is a military base in the area, but there were several, seemed to separate into sparks in a southeast direction, a glow persisted for about 5 seconds and then went dark. About 10 different streaks, and all did the same thing. I thought they were distant flares at first but too fast and they dissappeared right away and sparked. Never seen that many flares at one or any that did that. |

|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | A sudden orange glow that burst in several sparks all in a southeast direction and quickly dimmed out. |
