Reports Report 6101g (Event 6101-2022)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Thomas C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Initially thought at first glance it was a plane flying low, which is unusual for my location. Then a helicopter which isn’t unusual. The light was too bright though. There did seem to be a very faint trail, which then turned into sparks after a couple of seconds before travelling out of my sight. |
