| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Very clear night, was observing the milky way, turned to my left view over 6 acres or more of paddocks and then saw it burst into the night sky, I did not see it travel, it just lit up out of nowhere like a bright lantern made of flames. I messaged a group I'm in at 11:21pm, so it was before that..somewhere just after 11pm |
