Remarks Like a sparkler fizzling out but instead of burning bright and dimming until burnt out it was as if it was happening so fast that it looked like it was in slow motion as if someone tossed a baseball up into the air for a “pop up” style pitch, it seemed to move almost like a string of beads on a string. In one solid motion all the components moved together but as if they were operating individually or moving due to the reactionary effect of whatever physics law was involved in this (honestly it seemed to move like one of those office desk sculptures of a newtons cradle except it definitely had a point a and point b and not just pendulum motions
