| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | was long lasting - so long I thought it was a plane, but it seemed very close, so then I thought it was a flare or rocket, esp. since we were near Ft. AP Hill. My husband is military, and he said "that was no rocket that I have ever seen." The way it burned out was like a sparkler that flares once last time before it lets off last sparks and dies out. |
