Observer
Name Tom E
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks At duurst due to the complex shape I thought I was looking at a firework but the straight travel and lack of disintegration made me wonder. It was definitely in 4 or 5 pieces which birned red/orange with blue/white tails when I saw it dip behind the houses
