Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I’m worried this was actually some strange errant single random firework. It streaked just like a meteor would during a meteor shower but it was so much more colorful than I’ve ever seen from a meteor. And it was more sizeable than I’d ever seen before. But it couldn’t have been too big or I would’ve heard something right? So maybe it was smaller but just really close?
