| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Joe-mar Wayne U |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | A couple of people also saw it, as there was many people outside during a celebration with a neighbor. I saw it while I was about to join in, I thought it was strange that they were using fireworks since its just a birthday, but I realized that it was going on a weird angle and that it was completely silent aside from the people reacting to seeing it. |
