| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | At first, I thought it was a firework but it was traveling down not up, was too fast, and too bright. I specifically listened for a report but did not hear one. I spent a significant amount of time in war zones and have seen all sorts of rockets, tracers, and flares. It definitely did not look like any of those to me. |
