Reports Report 3l (Event 3-2026)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Henry D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This occured when it was very foggy in the area and the light was intense enough to pierce through the fog. It was new years eve, and understandably many people mistake fireworks for astronomical anomalies however, this had no associated boom as well as had a steep, straight, downwards angle, unlike a parabolic trail seen in most firework trails. also the sighting time may be off by 5-15 minutes. |
