| Name | Sydney A |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The flying object was bright enough that it lit up the surrounding areas (when there was already an uncovered full moon out), making both me and my partner look up from the beach. My first thought was that it was a flare but it looked far away and GIANT with a light blue/green tail behind it. I’m not sure if it exploded or not, but it never crossed the other horizon, as it turned red and seemed to die out quietly. Believe me when I say this thing was incredibly bright (definitely not a firework either), and I really want to identify was it is, if it even was a fireball or if some crazy cosmic event occurred tonight. If you have any information I would love to know! |
