|---|---|
| Name | Jack E |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I initially thought it was a firework, but the object was clearly higher and of a different nature as it “fragmented” and continued across the sky, as opposed to upwards like a firework would. Also got a sense that this was similar to fireball videos you sometimes see on the news etc. Amazing to see one in person. |
