Reports Report 1204q (Event 1204-2024)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Rob P |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was completely by chance that I observed this, but I have never seen anything quite like this before. I did actually panic for a second, as it was noticeable enough to cause some momentary concern (it looked a bit like a missile or firework). I was half expecting to hear an explosion or at least some sound, but I heard nothing. I unfortunately did not capture this via camera/video, but I hope someone else may be able to do so, or that this statement will further corroborate other sightings should there be no video/camera evidence available |
